Anyone any idea when we might see this google SMS thing here in the UK. I seen an ad on Fox news for it in the US and it looks quite good.

It is availble in the UK - the number is 64664.

Damn handy when you see something in a shop and want to know whether it's a good deal - just text 'price product name' (e.g. 'price 24 season 1 dvd').

But how much does 64664 cost? I'd not want to try it and find out I'd been landed with £1 on my bill for it!

It's just the cost of a normal text.

They must have changed it
It worked when I last tried it - a couple of weeks ago.
