FREE PHONE DIRECTORY SERVICE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Be sure and watch the clip...

Google has done it again ...

Not everybody has On Star, etc. or a phone book handy. Look what Google is doing ...

Here is something you will want to have and use! I still remember when the telephone company charged me $1.50 to get a phone number from information

My compliments to Google!

Just leave it up to Google to come up with something like this!!!

Here's a number worth putting in your cell phone, or your home phone speed dial:
1-800-goog411. This is an awesome service from Google, and it's free -- great when you are driving on the road with no pen, pencil or paper handy. Don't waste your money on information calls and don't waste your time manually dialing the number. I am driving along in my car and I need to call the golf course and I don't know the number. I hit the speed dial for information that I have programmed.

The voice at the other end says, "City & State." I say, " Garland , Texas ." He says, "Business, Name or Type of Service." I say, Garland Golf Course." He says, "Connecting" and Garland Golf Course answers the phone.

How great is that? This is nationwide and it is absolutely free!

Click on the link below and watch the short clip for a quick demonstration.

Very nice indeed but don't kid yourself as both Microsoft and Apple are offering or offered free services and / or products.

Just google it! "Microsoft free service" or "Bill Gates donations" etc.. GOOGLE IT! Pun intended!

What isn't great about Google is how they do not respect anyones privacy...

That's a whole different story, and I agree with you on that one.

I have been using goog411 for a few years.

I like it, but moved to TellMe (owned by microsoft), which is also a free service

It is more accurate in my area and follows up with a text of the information requested

1-800-555-8355 for anyone who wants to give it a go

I will say, since I got an iphone, I hardly ever use either anymore....it's so much quicker to do a google search and click to call
