Google SMS Info in India

I got to know about this interesting Google India service from a friend of mine.
http://www.google.co.in/mobile/default/sms/


This is what the webpage says:
"Get cricket scores, Indian Railways train schedules & ticket status, horoscopes, movie showtimes, restaurant information and more ...all through SMS on your phone.

Best of all, you don't pay a premium charge for any of this, just the price of a standard SMS.

Try it out! Simply send your search query by SMS to 9-77-33-00000 and we'll send you results back by SMS immediately.

Of course, don't forget to save 9-77-33-00000 to your phonebook for quick and easy access to Google SMS in the future!"

The website has an interactive demo to try the help and all the features. I especially loved the weather report, definitions, flight and railway status.

Some interesting queries, as listed on the webpage, could be:

"5000 inr in usd", "1 kilo in pounds", "weather gurgaon", "define blogging", "75F in C"

Now, one doesn't need an internet-enabled phone to get such basic information :)

Google zindabad!
