Swine Flu updates by SMS

spain-flu-cp-6620141-wide.jpg With the recent pandemic of Swine Flu going around, and the ensuing need to know how you’re affected, US based CellPhones.org has created a new service for cell phone users:

Text PIGFLU to 41411 and we will send updates as news develops about the Swine Flu. The only cost is your cost for receiving regular text messages, and there will be no other billing. We are providing this service in the public interest.

Daily Updates will include:

-- CDC/WHO Updates
-- Information about New OutBreaks
-- Information From Health Authorities

We aim to send out info between 1-3 times daily, with urgent information such as new outbreak information, messages from health authorities and travel warnings as they develop.
