Is
searching
with
411sms
free? |
|
|
It
is
free
from
411sms,
inc.
However,
depending
on
what
rate
plan
you
have
with
your
cellular
phone
company,
you
may
be
charged
as
much
as
10cents
to
send
or
receive
a
message.
We
advise
that
you
switch
to
a
rate
plan
with
unlimited
text
message.
This
will
save
you
money
not
just
from
using
our
service
but
you
can
communicate
with
other
cellphone
users
without
incurring
any
additional
charges.
You
may
choose
to
send
your
searches
by
email
from
your
phone
since
more
cellphone
company
offer
unlimited
rates
on
their
email service.

Why
do
I
always
get
"none
found"
when
I
search
for
a
listing? |
|
|
|
The
most
likely
reason
is
that
you
are
placing
a
period
or
comma
before
the
city
and
state,
or
you
are
sending
an
incomplete
city/state.
Another
reason
may
be
that
your
phone
adds
additional
text
to
your
query.
You
send
"setup411"
to
3109043113
to
initialize
your
phone.
Then
send
your
message.
The
next
common
reason
is
that
what
you
are
looking
for
is
not
listed.

Is
your
411
service
format
independent? |
|
|
|
Yes,
You
can
search
for
a
business
listings
in
any
format
you
wish.
You
can
use
periods,
spaces,
or
commas
to
seperate
your
search
and
you
can
reverse
the
location
and
the
search.
E.G
"hilton
hotel
los
angeles
ca"
gives
the
same
as
"los
angeles
ca
hilton
hotel".

|
|
|
|
Can
I
search
on
your
site
and
send
the
result
to
my
cellphone? |
|
|
|
Yes,
you
can
use
our
virtual
simulator.
Simply
enter
your
phone
number
and
enter
your
search,
the
virtual
simulator
will
simulate
the
sending
of
a
text
message
on
the
screen
as
well
as
send
it
to
your
phone.
|
|
|
|
Why
don't
I
get
a
response
when
I
search
for
a
listings? |
|
|
|
The
time
it
takes
for
text
messages
to
be
delivered
is
determined
by
the
cellphone
carriers
of
the
receiver
and
the
sender.
During
peak
times,
delivery
of
message
could
range
from
several
minutes
to
hours.
This
delay
is
in
no
related
to
the
411sms
service.
|
|
|
|
can
I
use
periods
or
spaces
instead
of
commas
(or
vice
versa)
in
all
my
searches? |
|
|
|
Yes,
you
can
send
your
search
separating
the
search
from
the
location
with
a
period
e.g.
"home
depot.
los
angeles
ca"
or
spaces
EG
"home
depot
los
angeles
ca".
Most
people
prefer
using
period
since
it
the
first
symbol
you
get
when
your
hit
the
"1"
button
on
your
phone.
It
makes
for
less
typing.
|
|
|
|
can
I
change
my
home
city
so
AreaCode
Aware
can
use
a
city
I
specify? |
|
|
|
Yes,
you
can.
Simply
send
"setupcity"
and
the
location
you
wish
to
use
as
your
homecity
e.g.:
"setupcity
las
vegas
NV"
"setupcity
90021"
"setupcity"
(This
will
set
your
home
city
back
to
default
that
is
based
on
your
areacode).
|
|
|
|
can
I
reset
home
city
to
the
default
from
AreaCode
Aware? |
|
|
|
Yes,
you
can.
Simply
send
"setupcity"
e.g.:
"setupcity"
(This
will
set
your
home
city
back
to
default
that
is
based
on
your
areacode).
|
|
|
|
Will
I
get
unsolicited
spam
text
messages? |
|
|
|
No,
411sms.com
does
NOT
sell
or
redistribute
the
numbers
in
its
database.
We
do
not

|
|
Why
do
I
get
listings
of
local
weather
services
when
I
request
a
5-day
weather
forecast? |
|
|
|
You
need
to
send
only
the
letter
"W"
and
the
location
to
get
the
weather.
You
are
getting
local
weather
service
because
you
are
sending
the
word
"weather"
instead
of
"W".
E.G.
"weather
90025"
is
wrong,
"W
90025"
is
correct.
|
|
|
|
Can
I
use
the
email
on
my
phone
to
search?
I

only
have

messages
from
my
cellular
provider. |
|
|
|
Yes
you
can
use
the

in
your
phone.

your

When
I
search
for
a
residential
listing
I
get
business
listings.
Why? |
|
|
|
If
you
send
a
search
and
do
not
specify
residential
only
by
prefixing
your
search
with
"rs"
(eg
"rs
James
Bond.
90025"),
our
servers
will
search
businesses
first
for
your
request
and
if
none
is
found,
then
it
will
search
residential
listings.
If
you
are
looking
specifically
for
a residential
listing,
simply
prefix
your
search
with
"rs".
