Windows Live launches SMS search beta
Just two years after Google launched its SMS search service, Microsoft has launched a beta version of its own SMS service that lets you perform Windows Live searches from a cell phone. The service is available to Cingular, Verizon, Sprint Nextel, and Alltel customers in the uS.Here's how it works.
- Send a SMS text message to WLIVE (95483)
- For a business, type the name and location (street address, city, state, zip code etc) Example: Starbucks Seattle, or high school 90210
- Search residential listings with a name and location
- Reverse phone number lookup
- Get Instant Answer by starting with a question mark. Example: "? father's day," "? population of France"
- Get word definitions using a D instead of an ? Example: "D mollify"
- Within a minute or so, you'll receive an SMS reply with the answer to your query.
