These days, there's a lot of focus on smartphones with Web browsers, but you don't need one to access Google from your phone. If you have a texting plan on a major US carrier, you can still look things up and get answers for your search queries. Google SMS allows you to use your cell phone to send and receive text messages to multiple Google services, including Google Maps and Google Shopping.
Just text your search question to 466453 (that spells "Google" on the number pad.) You can also text "help" for specific instructions. This costs whatever your phone company charges you for texting, so use wisely.
