Have you ever been in a store and wondered whether there was a better deal for your item online? Well, now you can check online prices from your phone with Google sms.

Just text message your search query to 466453 ('GOOGLE' on most devices) with the name of a product for which you want to find prices. For example, 'Canon G5 price' or 'Finding Nemo dvd price'.

You can specify that you only want product prices by including 'price' or 'prices' at the beginning or end of your query. You can also specify this by including 'F' before the product name in your query. For example, 'price ipod 20GB' or 'ipod 20GB price' or 'F ipod 20GB'.

You can also search by ISBN or UPC of the product for which you want to find prices. For example, '043935806X' (the ISBN of 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire').
