SMSable For Sale Signs

It seems like a fairly obvious use of the technology, but real estate "for sale" signs in one city in Florida will soon be getting SMS codes that people can plug in to get more info about the house they're standing in front of at the moment. It's sort of a modern update on the old paper fliers that are often found attached to "for sale" signs. Yet another example of how, with mobility added, the analog and digital worlds start to meet.

    Real Estate signs

    Now if they can get it to work so you can text message a rental sign on the thrid floor of a apartment building and get price, interior speca and opt to have a photo of the interior sent to your camera phone without having to talk first to a pesky rental agent.
