Anyone know of a free service that will send score updates to my cell phone via SMS?

Try ESPN's website. If you are with Verizon they have services like this.

ESPN text alerts

Text "TIDE" to 51234.

You don't get a text for every score, but you get game times, halftime and final scores, etc.

VolFan beat me to it.

ESPN's is the only free one I've been able to find.

I went crazy with ""Breaking News" when I first signed up. Like the Wall Street Journal, I just couldn't read all of the damned things and be productive.

ESPN can also give you alerts per score. I use it when I'm away at NAU games on Saturdays.

Thanks for that!

I've been using Google search. Works, but not nearly as efficient.

ESPN alerts are best, but you can also try 4INFO Home - Free Mobile Alerts and SMS Search and SMS Alerts

The ESPN text alerts are awesome when you can't see the game. But if you're watching the game they can be kind of annoying....

You can login to your ESPN Alerts account and enable and disable them as needed. I had to do that quite a lot last year because, yeah, they did get annoying if I was watching the game :tongue:

For those of you like myself that have the iPhone, there is a application called Sportacular Pro. Instead of telling you all that it does, I will just provide a link to it. The Pro of course is the paid version without advertisements that the free version has. I have really enjoyed having this application so far this season. RTR!
Citizen Sports

Here are some screen shots of this app directly off my iPhone

For all of you Blackberry users, ScoreMobile is a free app that is incredible. It will let you keep track of top 25, a particular conference, a particular team, or a particular game. However, for strictly SMS text, I agree with the posters who use ESPN's service. It will let you customize to receive each score, each quarter, or each game.

I use scoremobile too, but I don't like it very much. Its the only thing I can find so I guess it will have to do. I really wish I could still use the ESPN MVP with my BB but oh well.
