4INFO Humor: Is Mobile Search Domestic?

There are times when something occurs that isn't newsworthy, but is so hilarious that you must share it with the world. Welcome to the 4INFO domestic connection. What follows is a one-way transcript of several text messages that were mistakenly sent to us (at 44636) instead of the intended recipient. The names and locations have been changed to protect the innocent (or not so innocent).

We can only imagine that the text messages are coming from a man (let's call him Jack) who believes that his wife (Claire) is cheating on him. His shoulder to lean on is the intended recipient (Jane), but it seems that she has her own secrets...

11/16 7:27PM: I WON'T. UR SECRET IS SAFE WITH ME. I'D BE 2 EMBARRASSED 2 TELL ANYONE. HE'S A DUMB ASS. I AM SORRY UR HEART HURTS.

11/16 7:31PM: HEY JANE. I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I LOST MY TEMPER WHILE TEXTING CLAIRE YESTERDAY. I DIDNT SAY YOUR NAME BUT I DID SAY

11/16 7:31PM: THAT I GOT MY INFO FROM HER SISTER. SORRY. I JUST CANT HAVE ANY CLOSURE UNTIL SHE ADMITS SOMETHING OR I CAN PROOVE AN INSTANSE TO THE POINT OF HER NOT

11/16 7:32PM: BEING ABLE TO DENY OR LIE HER WAY OUT. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE I'M COMING FROM. ALL OF OUR FIGHTING WILL END IF I HAD ONE THING TO PIN DOWN ON HER ASKEW

(Somehow the name of a city, Askew, got into the last text... must have been from predictive text. Therefore, our service returned a result based on the city name.)

11/16 7:45PM: HEY! WHAT U DOIN? MISSISSIPPI ASKEW 38621 6625597884 ?

11/16 8:56PM: NO. AND IN CASE U WERE 'TESTING' ME, I WIN.

(And now, to highlight the personalization aspect of 4INFO. Because we picked up a location in a previous search, we assumed that his texts the rest of the evening were queries for local businesses...)

(The next morning...)

11/17 5:50AM: I GOT A TON OF TEXTS FROM YOU LAST NIGHT. PHONE NUMBERS OF BUSINESSES. WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT?

(This is the best part... the texts that Jack got last night actually prompted him to start using the 4INFO Yellow Pages service! 4INFO to the rescue, Jack! His queries follow...)

11/22 6:01AM: 'PERSONAL SECURITY' ASKEW MISSISSIPPI 38621

11/22 6:05AM: 'PRIVATE INVESTIGATION'

11/22 6:13AM: -PRICE: PERSONAL SECURITY ATTORNEY' ASKEW MS 38621

11/22 6:18AM:  'SURVEILANCE EQUIPMENT ASKEW MISSISSIPPI 38621'

Hmmmm, maybe there is a marketing campaign in here somewhere? In the off chance that this post becomes massively viral, be sure to check out all the 4INFO Mobile Search services (sports scores, movie times, weather, fantasy stats, stock quotes, horoscopes - which Jack could have surely used, and more!).
