Tech Tips for Catholics

My Brother works for one of the large cell phone companies and is always telling me different cell-phone tips.  This one, I use quite a bit, and it comes in handy too.

Let’s say that you are driving home from somewhere and you want to order supper from a local restaurant, but you don’t remember the number.  At the next stoplight (Don’t text & drive!), simply text the name of the restaurant, city, and state to 46645.  When I first tried to do this, I kept typing the letters g-o-o-g-l, rather than the number of each letter.  So be sure to use 46645.

Within a few seconds of hitting send, you should receive two text messages from Google with the closest results to your search.

You can use this feature to search for a person’s address, a business’ phone number, a definition to a word, and even the nearest Church to your specified zip code.

If you would like to try this without sending an actual text click here.

Please Note: This service is free from Google but charges from your carrier for usage may apply.  I am on a texting plan so I do not get charged per text from my local provider.
