I Recommend 1-800-GOOG-411
I’ve been using this for a long time, but if you’re still calling 411 you should try Google’s 411 service, Goog-411. It’s free and better in one important way than your phone company’s information service: Have ever had your car battery die in the middle of the night, in a scary part of a strange town? When I was younger, I had just that experience.
I had my cellphone, so I called information. When the operator requested a business name, I said, “Just give me the first towing company in the system.”
She said, “I’m sorry, but I can’t do that.”
“Ok?” I wondered. “How about ‘A Towing’?”
“We have no listing for ‘A Towing’.”
“‘AA Towning’,” I tried.
“No I’m sorry. Goodbye.”
Ouch.
Suffice to say, I had to walk.
If it had happened today I could have used Goog-411 and actually asked for a business category! Watch the video for a demo.

Even better, instead of call you can text them at GOOGLE (466453). I text google often when I need to look something up and I’m not at my computer.

Even more awesome, it’s FREE!

That is awesome that it’s free! That is obviously the best part, as depending on your cell phone company you could be charged up to $2.00 per time you dial 411, it’s high way robbery!
