Earlier, we shared with you about TellMe as a Java app that you can download to your cellphone and activate with your voice for 411-like service. Since then Microsoft has acquired TellMe.
Tellme Networks has announced yesterday that it will be launching a new service that enables users to quickly find information while on the go. The service functions similar to to 411, but users can request information through voice, SMS, or Mobile Web. The announcement comes just a week after Google announced its free 411 service, Goog-411.
To use the service through voice, simply call 1.800.555.TELL. You can then direct it verbally and it will return information. SMS and Mobile Web are equally easy. Sending a text message to TELLM with the business information. The service will respond with detail information that includes a link to a map. And if you don’t want to deplete your SMS allotment, a quick visit to www.tellme.com should produce similar results.
