Being the expert wannabe geeky blogger that I am, I thought I knew about every awesome product out there from Google.
My very own Mother recently introduced me to Google’s free 411 service. Apparently, it has been around for a while, so where have I been? I gotta admit, my Mom is actually more tech-savvy than I am, but don’t tell her I said that.
GOOG-411 is a free service that can save you from those annoying Directory Assistance surcharges. Yes, even on your cell phone!
So, before you forget, go get your cell phone right now.
Program this number in and save it:
1-800-466-4411
The service will even connect you to the desired business or number at no charge!
Learn more about GOOG-411 here. It seems very simple and user friendly, so give it a try!
THANK YOU for this! I have never heard of it either!!!
I love this…many thanks to your mom. Looking forward to meeting you at blissdom…we’re arriving tomorrow. 🙂

1-800-free411 works too! Awesome not to have to pay those $1+ charges anymore!
Thanks for reminding me of this service. I have programmed it into my phone for those rare occasions when I am not near a computer!
That’s wonderful! I get so irritated with those charges. Thanks for sharing.
We love Goog-411! We’ve been using it for at least the past year. There’s another service that I believe is also free that will give you directions from one place to another. My husband and I used it once when we were in St Louis and had no idea where we were going. I think it was a Google service too.
I have used this service before and yes, you are right, it saves you money!
Gee thanks. What a great tip!
