It’s cheaper and hassle free. Just heard about ASK411(275411) which provides DA information for free this month. I’m getting the hang of it. Since i’ve learn about this i started greeting my friends through text. Try it. You’ll get use to it. Seems that texting is the trend these days. It’s cheaper and hassle free.
