New SMS Service Keeps Tow Truck Away
April 20th, 2009 MobileFreak
It’s always interesting to learn about innovative new mobile apps, and we have one for you today. Apparently, folks in Columbus, Ohio often find their cars towed if they happen to be parked on the wrong street when the street sweepers come along. Enter AntiTow.
AntiTow is a free* SMS service that alerts you when the street sweepers are scheduled to be in your area. During street-sweeping season, which is typically April through October, hundreds of cars get tagged for towing each month. To help people avoid those costly fees is a huge benefit.
This is a simple, but useful way to solve a problem for many. That’s just what we like to see here at MobileMammoth.
I bet many of you can think of similar services that you could start for your area. Let’s hear them!

Thanks for the coverage!
We’d like to expand the service to other areas after we run the local pilot for a while. If you have any additional comments, I’d love to hear them. We’re also working on other SMS services along the same lines (of “a simple, but useful way to solve a problem for many”).
