Nancy, here is one better. If you contact your local phone company they will have you fill out a form and from there on, information calls are free, just by dialing 411. I haven't paid for information for years. I think a Dr. has to sign for the fact that you are blind, but hey, it' worth it, because even your number charges you for minutes called. Call your local phone company and check it out.

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!
