Send text message to google (and save yourself the fee)
The easiest way to find what you are looking for and your don’t want to pay a 75 cent surcharge by calling 411?
Send a text message to google.
That’s right, send a text message to 4 6 6 4 5 3.
Here’s the deal, enter the numbers 4 6 6 4 5 3 and in the body of the text you enter the bare-bones description of what you want.
For instance yesterday up and down the street surrounding our home in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood our neighbors had the big blue cans as Chicago starts to get real about recycling. And there we were with no monolithic blue bins in front of the Tom McCarey and Nicole Hilario estate.
Boo hoo.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t have my alderman’s number on speed dial. And I didn’t feel like calling anybody at The Real Estate Lounge Chicago office so I spun up google and texted.
Moments later I had info in hand and was en route to resolving my lack of big blue cans as I called my locally elected official and explained my predicament.
Of course, dear reader and seeker of info, please don’t try to perform this task while operating heavy equipment. If you are driving take a moment and pull over to the side and pose your question via text message.
And within moments you will have your response sans the surcharge of calling 411.
Of course if you have any questions about Chicago real estate, whether condos or single family homes, feel free to call me at 773.848.9241 or shoot me an email at tom@TheRealEstateLoungeChicago.com.
Ain’t life grand? Talk with you soon.
By the way, special thanks to my sister-in-law Monica Mendez for sharing this slice of the technological pie.
