Where is the nearest midwife? By SMS

Swiss mobile customers of wireless operator Swisscom, can send a text message to find out where the nearest doctor or hospital is, thanks to a new service provided by Sanday (”Santé (health) every day”).

"Mobile users need only send a text message to short code 858 with keywords that correspond to the care center or type of doctor they are looking for: hospital, pharmacy, doctor, dentist, gynecologist, opthtamologist, veterinary, mid-wife, physiotherapist... The service locates the position of the mobile user and sends back the nearest name and address at a premium rate (75 cents)."
