Free local business directory assistance (from guess who)
1-800-GOOG-411. It’s called Google Voice Local Search, and it looks like its poised to take the sting out of your phone bill if you’re used to paying the steep charges for a simple 411 call. The new service is currently available in English only, and only to callers in the United States looking for businesses (not individuals) in the U.S.
What’s free?
- Searching (by voice) to find a business
- Connection to a business once you find it
- Having the information you find sent to your cellphone via SMS (if you’re using a mobile phone)
