BIL Nick brings us another cool thing about Google!

My BIL Nick showed me a very cool Google trick this weekend!

You can get phone numbers (and even addresses!) from Google via text emssage, without paying the $2 it costs to call directory assistance. Plus, for you agoraphobes, you don't even have to talk to anyone! It costs only what your cell phone company usually charges for text messages.

Here's how-->
1) Compose a text message with what you need in the body of the message--in my case, I typed "Westlane Bowl Crystal lake".
2) Then, send it to 466459 (spell out Google).

Soon, Google will send you back what it can dig up from directory assistance.

I love Google!

....even though it's probably secretly planning to destroy the world....
