Text Message Service Enables Instant Comparison Shopping

Just in time for today's post Thanksgiving shopping day, UPSnap has launched a free price comparison shopping service for cell phones - anywhere in the USA - that allows users to quickly discover whether the price charged at the store is the lowest available.

"By simply typing the letter "P" followed by the name of the product as a text message and sending it to the number 2SNAP (27627), anyone can discover the lowest available price immediately". [via All Headline News]
