T-Mobile DriveSmart Text Blocking Product Announced

T-Mobile DriveSmartLocationlabs along with T-Mobile have announced the DriveSmart text-blocking app.

The Android app protects users by detecting if they are driving, and then stops them from texting. T-Mobile users can subscribe to the service for $4.99 a month if they have an LG Optimus T, with other phones to follow.

While in motion, incoming calls are sent to voicemail and an auto-response SMS message is sent to senders of incoming texts.
