Google has a new, free service that you can use to replace fee-based 411 services when you’re calling businesses. Simply dial 1-800-GOOG-411 from any phone, land line or cell phone. State the location and business type you require. Connect to the business for free.
Since the system is voice activated, you will be able to use your Bluetooth® headset while driving. Use it when you’re on vacation to find and contact hotels/motels or restaurants. If you are calling from a mobile device, GOOG-411 can even send you a text message with more details and a map. Simply say "Text message" or "Map it." Below is a link to Google’s FAQ on the service.

For free 411 residential and business information in the U.S., use 1-800-FREE-411. You will have to listen to a 15-second commercial message first, if there is a business offering a discount for what you’re looking for. Otherwise, the call goes through directly. The system operates using voice recognition software; be prepared for glitches. Another similar service, 1-800-411-METRO uses live operators exclusively.
