Another company offering free information sent to cell phones besides BetterThan411.com (see article) is Tell Me. Tell me is a Microsoft subsidiary that offers three ways to access their service:- Tellme by Voice: Call 1-800-555-TELL and just say "business search" to find a business listing or search for a particular category, such as "flower shops," from any phone, including a map for the selected listing. Callers can also choose from many other great services like movie tickets, ring tones, sports, news and more.
- Tellme by Text: Send a text message to TELLM (83556) with a business request such as "starbucks san francisco ca" or "pizza boston ma" and get a text message back with the listing and a link to a map.
- Tellme by Mobile: Speak your request and then see the results displayed on your phone screen for a voice + visual search, including maps and driving directions. Download the Tellme by Mobile beta by visiting http://www.tellme.com (or http://m.tellme.com from your mobile phone).
