    Sms.ac is an entirely different service. Remember Google is a search engine, they provide information. That's what this sms service does too only from your mobile instead of from the web.

    Edit: I noticed Google SMS before but never really looked into it. Now I can't wait to try it out. Damn I love Google so much; they have the best ideas ever.

    I'd rather keep well away from sms.ac, they have a terrible reputation for being spammers/scammers. People are being spammed AND ripped off. No way to run a company.

    I used it last night, (tho i might have been drunk :worried: )
    A friend wanted to know his waight in stones, he's 74kg.
    so i, remembering that the number was 6goog (64664), sent "74kg in stone" and it replied in a couple of minutes "calculator by google: 74 kilograms = 11.6530053 stone"

    I have to say i was impressed.

    another thing google is great at :rock:

    edit: just seen the link to pricing, FREE, horay! i was abit worried that in my drunken-ness i might have added £5 or somthing ridicoulous to my phone bill.

    Just text "help" to 6goog for the basic usage. Nothing else to remember!

    I got replies in less than a minute. - Roll on the next pub quiz! :worried: :naughty:

    The reception around were i live is pretty weak, pehaps i'm just a bit biased because of this fact, plus i think i'm to lazy, i'd rater just call them.
