Need Mobile Answers Fast? Text 466453 (GOOGLE)

Did you know that Google offers a quick-and-easy text message search service? Even if you have a smart phone with a web browser, you might find Google’s SMS search handy. For one, it’s incredibly fast– no clicking of links or searching through results or squinting at your mobile browser. For another, you can use special keywords to get immediate access to information.

For example, just text “weather 87112″ to 466453 (GOOGLE) and you’ll instantly receive the current weather in Albuquerque, along with a three day forecast. It works with any zip code.

Need movie times? It works the same way. Just text “movies” plus the zip code, and results will come back, along with options to view more films, more theater times, addresses and phone numbers. You can also have step-by-step driving directions texted to you simply by texting “directions [start address] to [destination address].” Need a quick definition? Just text “define [word]” to 466453.

With over 22 “hot search keywords” you can often get your hands on information faster than searching yourself. To check out a demo along with all of the search features (and instructions on how to use them), check out the Google SMS page:

While normal texting charges apply, most people have high-limit or unlimited texting plans. If that’s you, you might just find yourself addicted to Google SMS in no time flat.
