You are in office or you are traveling and want to know the latest scores, then just send an SMS from your mobile phone to Google and get the latest numbers and details. Get cricket scores, Indian Railways train schedules & ticket status, horoscopes, movie show timings, restaurant information and more...all through SMS on your phone.

The enhanced SMS service from Google comes with good and additional features. A simple SMS to 97733 00000 will give an instant access to Google SMS Search that too at the cost of simple SMS.

  • Google SMS Search is also providing richer info for railways apart from PNR status and train schedule. To know the berth availability for May 6, on train number 1081 from Bangalore to Mumbai, simply SMS train avail 1018 Bangalore to Mumbai on 06-05

What surprised me that, when I wanted to test this out using my mobile phone, I did not receive any response for the SMS I sent to check IPL scores. Do let me know if this worked for you. I am sure it should - as after all it is Google.

PS: Are we getting Lok Sabha Elections 2009 results on SMS from Google?
