I thought this sounded like a cool idea. If you have a Cingular cell phone, you dial a certain number (#43) while a song is playing on the radio, and then the service will send you a text message with the name of the song and the artist.

Radio stations never seem to give you any information at all anymore, so I can see this being useful.

However, when I went to the Cingular site to check it out, I see that it costs $.99 every time you use it. I can't imagine needing to know that badly.
