This is probably one of the most useful SMS services ever, a restroom locator, and it's launching next month in Shangai.

The move was announced at the First World Toilet Forum held in the Chinese city.Users dial a special number and the system tells them the location of the nearest public restroom.

In the future, it will also give them information such as whether or not the conveniences are free of charge.

Well, in China you might need to pay a small fee to go to some public toilet. So, there is business.
