411


Goog-411 - a free telephone info. service that could replace all 411 calls. 411 calls are a $7 billion/year market.

You can access Goog-411 by dialing 1-800-GOOG-411. The product is 100% automated and no way can you talk to a human for any additional info. Tell it your city and state, and then ask for an exact business or business category. The voice recognition works almost all the time, if it did not recognize you just need to say “back” and retry. The cool thing about Goog-411 is that it automatically puts you through with the number you requested.

GOOG-411 uses Google’s local business search available on Google Maps.

So instead of using 1-800-Free-411 and wait on the advertisements, just use Google's Goog-411 and make it faster and SAFER (it connects you to the number you requested without the fee, and vary convenient for Driving).
