Mobile phone services of interest to Phoenix residents

Since the demise of the Infone service (loved it, miss it), and the reality that mobile phone providers charge way too much for 411 calls, my witch hunt for a 411 service has finally ended (at least temporarily). 4INFO.net provides a wealth of information for free via a text messaging interface, visit the site with your computer to learn more. Text [business name] [zipcode] to 4INFO for 411 listings. I’ve found it’s not entirely comprehensive but it is certainly still helpful. Try it out! For live music listings visit http://m.jambase.com on your phone. It allows you to enter your zip code and returns live music events happening in and around the zip code. Another useful, though a bit more cumbersome, wap site is http://wap.switchboard.com which has Yellow Pages, White Pages and Reverse Lookup services. And if you’re itching for a craigslist fix while waiting @ the MVD or some other horrendous place, I’ve found that even though it is not optimized for phone browsers, it displays quite nicely, albeit a bit slowly. Got a mobile service you find useful? Let me know, I’m always interested.

    There’s another SMS search service which I think is better, you text to US411 (87411), you can get business listings, weather, nearby free wifi hotspots, etc… all the options are on http://www.411sms.com
