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.
