  2. How do i change the city in SMS?

     Onyomo will search by default in the city to which your phone connection belongs.

     So if your phone connection is from Bangalore, every search you make from your cellphone would by default take the city as Bangalore. If you wish to search in a city that is different from the one your phone belongs to then type the name of the city along with the query.

     E.g.

     • To search restaurants in bangalore. FIND Restaurants Bangalore
     • To search restaurants in Delhi FIND Restaurants Delhi

     Please note that after the results are returned the search city will revert back to the default city to which your phone belongs.

  3. How much does SMS Search cost me?

     The charge for sending an SMS to 53456 will depend on your mobile phone company. It varies from Rupee 1 - Rupees 3.
