Amazon Adds Text Messaging Service

Seattle-based Amazon.com has added text messaging to the ways that customers of the ecommerce retailer can buy products, the firm said today. The firm said that Amazon TextBuyIt will allow users to use text messages to find and buy products sold on its web site. The text messaging service allows users to both search for, and purchase any product. According to Amazon, when a customer orders a product, they will receive a phone call with final details of the order and ability to confirm or cancel their purchase.
