Snapdeal lets you find product prices via SMS

If you wanted to check the approximate price of a product while you're on the move and without a reliable Internet connection on your mobile, you can send a text message to 9278992789 with the product name or a specific Snapdeal item code (like "SDL543624189") to know its price on the Snapdeal website.

Snapdeal claims to be among the first to sell solar appliances and auto products (including scooters and motorcycles) online.

Life Insurance Corporation of India provides a similar service for policy enquiry, product query, registering of complaints for a specific policy by allowing customers to send a text message in this pattern - 'SMS "LICHELP < policy no >" and send it to 9222492224. On their website it also advertises this alternative pattern -  ASKLIC < policy no > PREMIUM/LOAN/BONUS/REVIVAL/NOMINATION" to be sent to the same number 9222492224
