Did you know that when you’re out on the road and have a question, like say “where am I?”, you can send a text message to 242242 which apparently spells “chacha”, according to my niece.  So you just  send a text to that number and you just ask your question.  You can ask anything you want and just phrase it like a normal question because it will be sent to an actual person that will then look up the info. for you and text you the answer.

Yesterday I was driving around Tucson, lost, and I texted how to get to the University of Arizona from the cross-streets I was at.  It took 7 minutes to get my answer which is longer than if I had GPS on my phone but I still think it is very cool and helpful.  It is a completely free service because they send you ads in between sending you the answer.  I only got 1 ad and after my answer I didn’t get any more ads.

Here’s the website if you want more information

And again….they are not paying me or giving me anything….I just think it’s really cool.
