Manch 411 is the SMS version of Porc411. Send a text to (703) 755-0411, and it will be relayed through Google Voice, TwitterMail, and Twitter to all phones set up to follow. To follow Manch411:
Create a Twitter account, and verify your email.
Text "Start" to 40404.
You'll get a text back, text your Twitter user name to 40404.
You'll get a text back, text your Twitter password to 40404.
Go to twitter.com/manch411 and click follow.
You should see a green box with two arrows and a lighter box with a phone. Click the phone (it should turn green).
Done.
Any texts sent to (703) 755-0411 will get through to your phone in seconds. There were no 603 numbers available so I went with 703, not because of the similarity though. Keene411, 420at420, and Agora411 are all coming soon, as is a tutorial on starting new Kwik411s.

I was tempted to go run and set up Keene411 - but since you have it planned, I'll leave it to you. Looking forward to promoting this useful tool!!

Thanks for this service. It seems like it could be useful.
ReplyDeleteFYI: It looks like Google Voice cannot (or will not) send texts to 40404 (my guess is they will not text any non-standard phone number).
