Quick mobile tip: get stock quotes on a mobile via TXT

Google_logoNo need for a smartphone or iPhone, just a regular ol’ phone will do, providing it can send and receive TXT messages. Shoot a text message to Google at 466453 and include the ticker symbol of the company you want a stock quote on. You’ll get a TXT response in return from Google Finance, usually in less than a minute or two. Bear in mind that the stock prices are delayed up to 15 minutes in the U.S., which is standard for most stock quote services. This approach is similar to the Google local listings service that we covered last year; Google Finance just announced this new aspect yesterday.
