A great app that PRE-DATES smart phones. I remember using Shazam when it was a dial in service (dial 2580 in the UK), hold your old brick mobile phone up and you would get a txt message a minute later with the song. Seemed like magic then and still does now.

I was unaware that this was a thing. That's pretty cool, and it's always nice to see a company like that able to adapt and thrive with the advent of smartphones

I remember coca-cola did a large marketing campaign in some parts of Europe with them somewhere before the first iPhone (or at least before smartphones were common).
