Free 411

I have been skeptical of Free 411. I refuse to pay more than I have to for anything, and I'll look hard for the lowest price. The other day, I was away from home and looking for a specific business. I remembered recently hearing about 800-GOOG-411, Google's free 411 service. I tried it and it is wonderful! If it doesn't understand the city you are saying, it is a little difficult, and you have to hang up to retry as far as I know. However, it understood most cities I asked for as well as the business name and category. It appears to read the listings that come up if you were to do the same search on the website. It even connects you to the business for free. At this time it is only for businesses, but if I go to a person's house I usually look it up before I leave, so that's not a problem for me.

I will be using 800-GOOG-411 again. Give it a try and see how it works in your town. You will probably be very happy with it! :)
