Upsnap

Upsnap

Upsnap is synonymous with mobile search. Realizing the inherent difficulties in producing a usable search experience from the constraints of a mobile phone, Upsnap developed a patented method of accepting queries and producing results via text messaging, aka SMS. The company employs an intelligent query search engine to process text queries sent to the number 2SNAP (27627) and quickly returns the relevant info that the user has requested in text form.

With 4-1-1 directory queries, the user is also given the option to receive a free call-connect via a VOIP bridge. They generate revenue via a pay-per-call model, analogous to the pay-per-click model of internet search.
