Text4Price – Price Comparisons by SMS
http://www.text4price.com/

text4price wants to empower consumers with the tools to get the best deals anytime, anywhere, and provide the most complete and relevant product information available online when they are offline. Take advantage of the world’s most popular mobile communications medium – Text Messaging or the Short Message Service (SMS). Some price comparison shopping engines have made attempts to use WAP but these have not lived up to user expectations. This is because they are essentially trying to force an internet model onto a mobile telephone which creates a poor and awkward technology mix. In developing the text4price service, they have focused on providing very specific information in response to queries and not tried to replicate other conventional online comparison experiences. They believe that through future service innovations they will be able to maintain the strict level of relevance they require, and offer theirr users the widest choice of shops available in the UK when they are away from a computer.
