Taxi Magic has all the numbers for those cab firms operating in your area pre-programmed for one-click calling. Or you can book a cab directly through your phone, providing your pickup address and destination without so much as a second on hold. Finally, you can even track your cab as it winds its way to your address--though most users suggest paying for your ride the old-fashioned way.
