CBC Mobile On Demand
CBC Mobile On Demand delivers a variety of news and information headlines to your mobile phone, or to a text messaging enabled PDA (personal digital assistant). News content ranging from top news to sports headlines is available "on demand" to mobile users via text messaging.

Have a few moments and want to get the latest Canadian news? Wondering who won the game? Or what's going on back home in Nova Scotia? On Demand headlines give you what you need to know, when you need to know it, regardless of time or place.
How do I use the service?
Go to the Text Message menu on your handset and select the option that allows you to write a new text message. Depending on your mobile phone, you may need to input the short code, or the message first.

For the message, indicate which news category you are interested in by entering one of the category commands listed below (e.g. TOP, SPO).

The short code is 22222 for English headlines (CBCCA), and 77222 for French headlines (SRCCA). Short Codes are numbers to which a text message can be sent and are shorter than a 10-digit cellphone number. Short Codes are easy to remember and take less time to type.

Press "send" and in about 5 to 10 seconds, you'll get a text message with the information you requested.
