Google offers convenient services by text message.
From Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine, July 2007
Google chief Eric Schmidt proclaimed last year that "your mobile phone should be free," and he's making it happen. Google is introducing a host of cell-phone-accessible features that will cost you pretty close to bupkis.
Want to check your flight status? Using your phone's text feature, send a text message to GOOGLE (466453), with the name of your airline and the flight number as the message ("UA 924," for example). Within seconds, Google will search Flightstats.com and beam you back times and gates. You can also get stock prices, movie times, directions and sports scores gratis from Google. Some carriers may charge for text messages.
