SMS phonebook is stupid

, , , ...

Some crazy people are advertising that I can look up names and numbers for peoples phone numbers by sending an SMS message. It only cost 50 cents (3,- NOK), hurray for them! Or ah, em... it costs 50 cents for every suggestion they send you. Which is often wrong so it usually cost a dollar.

Wouldn't it be sooo great to have an entire phonebook on your cellphone? Just enter the name, phone number or address and you can view an entire list of suggestions. It'd be fantastic if it even was cheap! Let's say 1 cent, or therearound! Man, this sounds like a fantastic deal! Serve it up, dude!

I will comply thy wishes.

Install Opera Mini and surf the net. The norwegian phonebook is available online at Telefonkatalogen.no. Just use whichever is available where you live.

If you want to create a search engine, edit the search field and go to options. There is a choice that says "Create Search...". Congratulations, the service is now easily available on the front page of Opera Mini.
