New Mobile Price Comparison: Just Dial A Barcode And Get A List Of Prices
Monday June 26, 2006
I rarely blog on mobile services, since they sometimes are so inefficient and useless. But this one caught my eye just as I was about to delete the press release from my inbox: Frucall is a mobile comparison shopping tool. No big news but, instead of asking you to log-on to a slow-loading wap site, frucall.com lets you just call 1-888-DO-FRUCALL and punch in a bar code.
More details on their site
I like that their service answers quickly and reduces the steps to a minimum. In a second, you get a list of prices from Amazon, Buy.com or Yahoo Shopping. They do CD's, appliances, books and more. If it works as well as for the book I used to try it, it could be a great tool for shoppers who still wander in the aisles of bricks-and-mortar stores and want to see if they could get a better deal online before proceeding to the cash register.

This is a cool phone I got new songs from the web on it and I can take pic
I read an article about something similar. This is really awesome. Has anyone purchased anything yet?
