Amazon Launches SMS Buying Service


Amazon launched Amazon TextBuyIt, a service that allows Amazon users to buy stuff through mobile phone text message.


User’s text the name of a product, the description, or the UPC or ISBN number to Amazon 262966 and if Amazon has the item, the users will get the two results sent to them.


If the user wants to make a purchase, he replies with 1 or 2 and is asked for his email address and zip code. Then he is called back by the system to complete the checkout process via an automated voice system.


This is a free service, but if you use TextBuyIt you can’t take advantage of “Deal of the Day” items or “Gold Box Discount”.
