Hotel Info a Text Message Away
Friday, June 9, 2006
Stuck spending the night at LAX? Send a text message that says "Los Angeles hotels" or the local zip code and "hotels" to 4-INFO (4-4636), a free text messaging information service. It quickly returns a list of nearby lodgings plucked from Hotels.com's database. Don't see what you want? Just reply "m" for more options. To check rates, send another message with "reserve" and the city name or zip code. The hotel look-up is the latest addition to 4INFO's convenient--and also free--text searches for restaurants, weather reports, and flight schedules and delays as well as sports scores, stock quotes, and more 4info.net.
