Color real estate photos link up with cell phones

Real estate agents can now receive color photos of home listings directly to their wireless phones through a service available from ClearSky Mobile Media. The service, iCode PhoneFlyer, also provides instant updates to a realty agent's phone when a prospective client inquires about a property. [via Inman News].

"PhoneFlyer allows people anywhere in the United States to get additional information on a real estate listing by entering a short code number displayed on the yard sign or print ad into their mobile phones.

The iCode PhoneFlyer service combines the SMS text messaging and color screen browsing capabilities of mobile phones to deliver the information."
