Cellphone Tips
Here are just some cellphone tips I found on PC World magazine that I would like to share. Read more to find out what your cellphone can do that you didn’t know it could.
Google
Search- Text “Google” (46645) as the number, then for the message, input what you are trying to look for. For example, to find the phone number of a store in your neighborhood, enter in “Pizza Hut Chicago, IL”. It doesn’t have to be specific. You can plug in “pizza Chicago, IL” instead to find other pizza stores. Also, instead of inputing in a city and state, try using a zip code. Google will then reply after a minute or so with the results.
Dictionary- Use “define:WordGoesHere”.
Converter- example –> “2 liters in quarts” or “$100 in euros”.
Weather- example –> “weather Chicago, IL”.
Team-Check- example –> “Chicago Bulls”
Call 411 for Free
Most cell phone services charge up to $1 for each 411 call, but there’s another free alternative: 1-800-FREE-411
The only difference is that before the service gives you the number you are looking fore, there is a brief advertisement that you have to listen for. Other than that, it’s a free way to call 411.

Windows Live has also introduced their 411 service. But it is not as good has Google’s
Does it apply to international users also?
I cannot use it in Australia, but we have oru own service
