Want to learn more about SMS, aka short message service, aka cell phone text messaging? Check out my new site, SMS411.net, which provides simple, easy-to-understand information on how to use SMS with U.S. cell phones.

Although the popularity of SMS is rapidly growing in the U.S., we’re far behind the rest of the world in understanding how to use it effectively. Part of the problem is that it’s just too hard to find good info on how it works and what you can do with it. Lots of people don’t know, for example, that you can receive email on your cell phone via SMS, or that you can use SMS to do Google searches. This site explains all that and more, as clearly and accessibly as possible.

It’s brand-new, and I’m doing the site in my off hours, so the information you find there is just a start. Please take a look and let me know what you think–I welcome your comments and suggestions!
