Well you can! If you are somewhere and you need an answer–and you do not have an internet connection–use ChaCha. Here…..from their “about” page:
“ChaCha is like having a smart friend you can call or text for answers on your cell phone anytime for free! ChaCha works with virtually every provider and allows people with any mobile phone device – from basic flip phones to advanced smart phones – to ask any question in conversational English and receive an accurate answer as a text message in just a few minutes.
What’s your question?
Simply text your question to 242242 (spells ‘ChaCha’) or call 1-800-2ChaCha (800-224-2242) from your mobile phone to ask any question. What are you waiting for? Ask away!
I not only use chacha, I am an expiditor. I get paid to change people’s texts into actual questions for guides. It’s definitely interesting!
I am DYING to know how much a gig like that pays….
Yeah, I heard that they hire people to do that–a very cool gig!
