Need directions? Forget the map just grab your Cell phone

Lost, need directions? No need for a map because there is a new service that will text the directions directly to your cell phone, for free. It’s called Dial Directions and all you do is dial the word "directions" (347-328-4667) on your cell phone and you can get step by step directions to an address, business, even an event.


I tried it out and for the most part it worked, but Dial Directions could not find newer businesses and I also tried it on Trader Joe’s and it gave me a location in Tucson. So it is not flawless but it is a great resource if you are lost. Dial Directions is a free service, but text fees may apply depending on your cell phone service.
