1-800-GOOG-411 0
We have been taking advantage of a free 411 service this last year called 1-800-FREE-411. It is “free” in the sense that it doesn’t increase your phone bill. The real cost is that you have to wait through some annoying advertisements. It works most of the time, although recently we have had some annoying difficulty with it. For example, Meredith couldn’t get it to understand the word “Sears” (the department store). Well, I have discovered a new, free-er 411. No advertisements, and much better. 1-800-GOOG-411 (1-800-4664411) is Google’s new 411 service. I tried it out and I love it. It is also somewhat amusing… the guy makes a funny “computing” sound when it is thinking. I tried out “Sears” and it recognized it right off.
