I used to call Uber in the early 2010-2012 days on my Blackberry by texting my current location. Worked great even without an app.

- pmart123 8y agoInteresting. I didn't know that. I wonder if there was any 00's era startup that tried to create a taxi hailing service prior to the app store developing? My gut says the iphone/app alongside location data was critical for widescale adoption.
