Here's another number for more info on lots of current events , directions, sports info... 1-800-555-8355. Free also. I use it often. That other number might be a little quicker for business calls.

Snopes.com says it is real. Kathie Have you ever noticed the itemized cost to call information from your land line or your cell? It's outrageous. Here's a solution. I tried it and it works accurately and quickly. -. Just leave it up to Google to come up with something like this!!! Here's a number worth putting in your cell phone, or your home phone speed dial: 1-800-goog411 or 1-800-466-4411. This is an awesome service from Google, and it's free, great when you are on the road. Don't waste your money on information calls and don't waste your time manually dialing the number. I am driving along in my car and I need to call the golf course and I don't know the number. I hit the speed dial for information that I have programmed (1-800-goog411). The voice at the other end says, "Say the name of the business and the City & State." I say, "Firewheel Golf Course, Garland , Texas .' He says, "Connecting," and Firewheel answers the phone. How great is that? This is nationwide and it is absolutely free! Works on cell and landline phones.
