  • Google's free 411 service

    Google Voice Local Search is Google’s experimental service to make local-business search accessible over the phone.

    To try this service, just dial 1-800-GOOG-411 (1-800-466-4411) from any phone.

    Using this service, you can:

    * search for a local business by name or category.
    You can say "Giovanni's Pizzeria" or just "pizza".

    * get connected to the business, free of charge.

    * get the details by SMS if you’re using a mobile phone.
    Just say "text message".

    And it's free. Google doesn’t charge you a thing for the call or for connecting you to the business. Regular phone charges may apply, based on your telephone service provider.

    Note: Google Voice Local Search is still in its experimental stage. It may not be available at all times and may not work for all users. We’re fine-tuning the service to get better at recognizing your requests. It’s currently only available in English, in the US, for US business listings.

          I learned about FREE411 about a month ago. I've used it 4 or 5 times from my cell phone. It's great not to have to pay $1 or more for "directory assistance" when you're not at home.

          I did not know about Google's service until I read this post. Thanks.

          Cheers,
          Maria
