Mobile Answers from 1-800-2-ChaCha

No this is not a prank or a hoax number, and I’m not trying to coerce you into doing the Cha Cha slide either.  This is a legit mobile phone service, as weird as it may sound, and this might just be the next mobile phone “revolution.”  ChaCha’s ingenious new 1-800-2-ChaCha (800-224-2242) mobile answers service allows cell phone users to ask an extensive range of questions (in English) while on the go — and within minutes, will receive free answers via text message.

    What You Can Ask “ChaCha”

Who stars in the movie Juno?

How much is a Garmin Nuvi 360?

    Which hotels in downtown Atlanta have a business center?

What is the best Bluetooth headset store in the country? (Well … I may be biased!)

    • The ChaCha’ing Behind ChaCha
  • I was wondering the same thing … I mean, how does this whole thing work?  Well, ChaCha’s new service instantly routes each question to a human guide, which dramatically increases the type of questions you can ask.  The guide then uses Web search engines and quickly returns a relevant answer in a text message with a Web reference link.  Easy enough, right?!?!

      • According to the CEO of ChaCha
        “On mobile devices, traditional 411 has been the only easy to use option and it is limited to the basics of only finding a phone number or address,” explains ChaCha CEO Scott A. Jones. “More recently, desktop search engines have attempted to enter the mobile market by forcing users to enter a restricted query with their thumbs on a tiny keypad in a specific way, which causes most people to find other ways of meeting their information needs, such as calling a friend or waiting until they get to a computer, or, worse yet, making less-informed decisions. Using ChaCha is like having thousands of informed friends available by phone to help answer your questions 24 hours a day.”
        ChaCha is available on any mobile phone.  Yes that means even flip phones to the all-extensive smartphone.  Also, ChaCha was ranked as the “No. 1 Alternative Search Engine” in February of this year, according to ReadWriteWeb.  Along with Bluetooth technology, ChaCha’s mobile technology answering service is a new and upcoming tool that many people are going to capitalize on … I mean, the tool is so easy to use it’s almost like doing the ChaCha slide …
