It also comes in handy if you're using a cell phone, where an information call is even more expensive than normal if you just dial 411. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Blake Sinnett" <frequency660@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 12:05 AM Subject: Re: For everyone who can't read the Phone Book! Indeed. That's how it is here in my small town as well. Pretty much everywhere will do this. However, this number may come in handy if you're at your friend's house or something.

Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2006 23:30:28 -0800 Hi, While I am sure that's a wonderful service, the fact is that in many locales, phone information using the traditionall 411 number is free for a blind person if they just ask for it and send the requested proof of legal blindness. That's how it works for me here in Los Angeles. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nancy Shackelford" <ddd3dee@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 11:07 PM Subject: For everyone who can't read the Phone Book! I just paid $3.49 a piece for 2 DA (directory assistance) calls because I'm totally blind and my husband oftentimes cannot find numbers in the phone book because of his visual impairment. Wish I had had this info then! Phone companies are charging us $1.00 or more for 411 / information calls. When you need to use 411, simply dial 1 800 FREE 411 or 1 800 373 3411 without incurring a charge at all except for the minutes required to make the call if you are using a cell phone. This is information people don't mind receiving, so please let others know. Program this number into your CELL and start getting FREE information. DO NOT DIAL 411 anymore. This works for land lines and cell lines. NKS === WALK ON FAITH & TRUST IN LOVE - Michael Reed === __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
