411 For Free
The days of paying a
dollar for phone numbers are over. My friends, meet GOOG-411. If you
haven’t yet used this service, now is the time to start. You just dial
1-800-GOOG-411, and everyone’s favorite search engine will help you find
any business listing you need. It’ll even connect you at no charge.
For personal numbers, you can try 1-800-FREE-411. This one will
make you listen to a slightly annoying ad to get your info, but it will
look up anyone’s home number and put you right through.

Seven (7)
things your cell phone can do that you didn't know it could!
• 1-888-FRUCALL: If you're in a
store and you want to know if you're getting a good deal, call
this number and enter the product bar code. For free, it'll tell
you what you're looking at and what online merchants are selling
it for.
• 112: Emergency dialing, even if your phone is out of service
range or the keypad is locked.
• 1-866-411-SONG: If you're listening to the radio and a song
comes on that you can't ID, call this number and hold your cell
phone up to the radio. The company will send you a text message
with the band and song name. It's free at first, but then you
get charged.
• GOOGL: Send a text message to GOOGL (46645) with a search
query, like "Chinese restaurants, Times Square" or "Weather
11215" or "Define existential" and you'll get a free text
message right back from the search company.
• 1-800-555-TELL: Much like the Google service, except it's with
voice not text. Call the number and you'll be walked through
menus from which you can access sports scores, business
listings, stock quotes and more.
• Popularity Dialer: popularitydialer.com. This is more for
kicks. Let's say you've got a meeting coming up that you know
you'll want to be distracted from or a date you know you'll want
to break off early. You can schedule this service to call you at
a pre-planned time. A male or female voice (your choice) will
come on the time and start talking, like it's a real friend or a
real interruption.
• 1-800-FREE-411: Free directory assistance. You have to listen
to an advertisement, but at least you don't have to pay $1 or
$1.50 for every call.
