Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or
more for 411
information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a
telephone
directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even moreof a problem.
When
you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial 1(800) FREE 411, or
1
(800) 373-3411; without incurring any charge at all. This is the kind of
information people don't mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and
friends.
This works on your home telephone as well!
(Trade off may be how long it takes)
