Sprint Nextel Release Find It Location Service
March 28th, 2006
Sprint and InfoSpace today announced the availability of InfoSpace Find It, a comprehensive subscription-based location enabled search product that allows consumers to easily and quickly find everything from nearby restaurants and movie times to people, maps and driving directions all in one integrated application.
Available today on over 20 select Sprint and Nextel phones, InfoSpace Find It! further addresses consumer demand for local information they can access on their wireless phone, whenever and wherever they want. This innovation provides on-the-move Sprint customers with one application to find relevant local information and is GPS-enabled to most efficiently answer the question, ‘what’s around me now?
The service includes Local Quick Clicks, which will seek out local business listings with maps and driving directions. One-Stop Shopping combines services offered by yellow pages and white pages. What’s Nearby offers details of what’s close and, even if the caller does not know where they are, the service can provide details using location-based capabilities. The Click to Connect feature enables phone calls to be made with one click, negating the need to dial a phone number.
