New mobile shopping service is available online -- for a fee

ASSOCIATED PRESS
For anyone who has found themselves in an unfamiliar place but with a very familiar urge to shop, there is now a new mobile tool to give you some direction.
The Philips Simplicity Concierge offers online or text-message recommendations on shopping, nightlife, dining and events for 20 cities. The destinations are selected by experts at various Conde Nast web sites, including lucky.com, glamour.com, style.com and gourmet.com.
The concierge service can be accessed by logging on to the Web site or by sending a text message to "82222" and entering an information category (SEE for destinations, SHOP for shopping and DINE for restaurants, for example) and city abbreviation (ATL, CHI, NYC, among others). The request is processed and the recommendations are delivered directly to the sender's cell phone within minutes.
Content will be updated on a monthly basis in an effort to ensure that users have the most current information possible.
Standard text messaging rates apply. A glossary of abbreviations is available at www.philips.com/co-ncierge.
