Need to find a local business address on Google, but don’t have web access? If you’ve got a phone with text messaging capability, you can perform that Google search and get info in just seconds. Here’s how:
- Create a new TXT message to GOOGL (46645)
- In your TXT message, enter the business name and zip code closest to you
- Send your message
In just a few seconds, you’ll get a reply message with the business address info; it’s that simple. I just tried this to find the nearest Best Buy (as if I didn’t know) and my reply message shown was returned in under five seconds.
Thanks to jkOnThePhone for the tip….hey, shouldn’t jk be "OnTheRun"? James, put the phone down and stop spamming Google with text messages, would ya?
