The service is currently only available to subscribers of Cingular, Verizon, Sprint Nextel and Alltel in the United States.

• Local Business & Residential Listing ( e.g. Starbucks and your zip code)

• Instant Answer Queries (Remember to start your queries with ‘?’unless specified otherwise)
• Stock Quotes (U.S. & Int’l Exchanges)
