Cingular offers account info by SMS

Beginning this month, Cingular will offer customers throughout Alabama a new service that essentially puts management of personal account information in the hands of its wireless customers, according to a company press release.

By simply dialing the appropriate "star code," Cingular customers can have their current account balance and/or remaining minutes delivered to their handset via text messaging.

The star codes are:

*BAL# (*225#) to receive an update on outstanding balance
*MIN# (*646#) to receive an update on remaining minutes
*PAY (*729) to use the IVR feature to make a payment
