Free 411

Most phone companies charge $1.00 or more for directory assistance (411) service, but you can get it completely free.

There are currently two options for getting totally free 411 services.

The first is Google 411, which is provided by Google and presently has no advertising: 1-800-GOOG-411 (1-800-466-4411). The Google service does not have live operators to assist you, but it will connect you to your listing at the end of the call. Google's service uses Google's local business search database.

The second option is 1-800-FREE-411 (1-800-373-3411) which is also free but runs several advertisements before you can get your listing. Unlike Google, a live operator is available if you have trouble, but they will not connect your call.
