Thumbs up 800.FREE.411

My wife emailed this to me (from the next room over ) because she hates how much I call 411 from my cell phone. I just tried this with a local restaurant, and it was fast, totally automated and got the right place on the first try. Supposedly, you may hear occasional ads. I didn't get an ad on the first try. YMMV.

I use it all the time on my cell phone. It is great, better then a $1.50 (I think thats what it is) for 411.

Which, of course, has the double negative in it so it really means that there IS such a thing as a free lunch.

When I'm driving, I can make a hands-free call to 411. I can't say the same (yet) for an Internet search.
