UpSnap.com - Free directory assistance for cellphones

Perhaps, like me, you find it obscene to have to pay a dollar or more every time you use your cellphone's directory assistance.

Well, guess what: you don't have to any more.

UpSnap, a text-messaging company, has just introduced free directory assistance for users of SMS.

To activate it, you first visit UpSnap.com and send a message to your own cellphone.

After that, you SMS to UpSnap the name and location of the business or person you need, and they send you back, via SMS, a reply.

Try it, you might like it.

Nice price, in any event.
