Frucall: Check The Prices
I don’t know about you, but it has happened to me a million times. I am at a store and I see something that I want to buy, but can I get a better deal online? It’s not something I desperately need, so if I can save ten bucks by ordering it online, maybe I should. The only problem with that is I need to go home to check the prices online.
Not anymore.
Now, you can call one phone number, type in the product’s barcode into your phone and it will tell you the prices online. It’s Frucall and it’s what you have been wishing for.
Program this phone number into your cellphone right now: 1-888-363-7822. The call is free. You don’t need to set up an account. You don’t need to give them your email. The service is paid for by sponsors, so expect to hear a commercial or two. I can listen to a commercial in order to prevent a drive home to check prices. Just try it out. If you hate it, never call it again.
I tested this out on a couple of bar codes that I had lying around at home and the only company that they quoted prices for was TigerDirect. TigerDirect usually has some good prices, but Amazon beats them sometimes, so that might be a fatal flaw in this service. Additionally, remember that prices include estimated shipping and handling. If you see a price that’s better on a different online site, it might be because they haven’t included shipping. I haven’t checked to see if the prices on EVERY product on the planet are accurate, however. If you call it and find that they are screwing up, please leave a comment here and tell the world about it.
