Make your dumb phone smarter with Google

My wife uses this a lot with her dumb phone. Basically you can text to Google(466453) various things and even get directions, business phone#s/address, weather whatever.

Haha.. yup. I remember using this back before smartphones became popular.

Would be neat if I texted. As the highest markup consumer product, I hate texting.

But a neat function all the same.

I just wonder how their "do no harm" policy, crossed with their need to sell data and use patterns for revenue crosses for a cellphone. Would hate to get spam texts or Spam phone calls...

I had a roommate that did this with his flip phone. I was amazed.
