    Default How do you check scores when at a game?

    Anyone have a sports pager or other service to get scores of games when away from the television.

    I went to the Notre Dame - Tennesse game Saturday and the only scores they ever gave were Top 25. I had to call a friend to get updates.

    I want to get a sportspager, but I can't justify the cost right now. I've been thinking about it for a while though...

    A free scorephone is alright, but most of them are linked to touts and that would give them your phone number.

    Internet on a cell phone is another option, but I think calling a friend from the game might be the best way. Its not glamorous, but it works.

    Doesn't CRIS give away free pagers? Well, not free, but if you ask and deposit a decent amount, I'm sure they'd send you one.

    I must be the only person on earth who doesn't want/need to know the score of the game. If I was at a live game would just enjoy that game and find out later. I know I am in the minority.

    I use the internet on my PDA phone. I'd recommend it. Treo 650. It's like $15 per month for unlimited internet use via Sprint. Also, you can run BetCris or BetWWTS software on it to place wagers if you want.

    Nice score on the ND tickets by the way. I went there for undergrad. Must have been a good time, especially the 4th quarter. That is unless you were rooting for Tennessee.

    I also recommend the Treo Smartphone. I have the older 600. Thats what I use to check scores. I see the Treo 750 is going to have a windows base OS. I will probably check it out, this one is over 3 years old now.

    Is this a free scorephone? Is it ran by a tout service? I've been looking for a good scorephone for sometime.

    Free, no tout, no call-back, it will give you other stuff to like movie listings, etc.

    Just say Sports, then NBA, then Bulls for example, it gives score.

    everytime i call one of the free scorephones, i have to go thru about a minute or a minute and a half of all the bullshit tout stuff. then after you go thru all there bullshit, sometimes they don't update the scores on time. there are a very frew good score phones out there right now, that have updates every 10 minutes and, the last one i had that updated the scores every 10 minutes shut down.

    Dan: None of that stuff with this number, just say SPORTS right away , then NBA, NFL , or whatever, you'll get the rundown of scores, or just say the team you want.

    What a stupid thread, cell phones people. Last time I checked most of them had the internet. I'd buy one if i didn't lose it all playing poker every night.
