Crowdsourcing SMS information services | 301006
Services such as AQA in the UK and Google SMS in the US rely upon staffers providing answers to users' questions. How about some crowdsourcing?
Why not combine with something like Amazon's Mechanical Turk to answer people's questions by SMS - leverage the masses like Wikipedia, with 'Fraggles' competing to write/rate the best answer; they then get a cut of the SMS fee. (Though it would rely upon people rating quickly in order to give the user a prompt response.)
