[Blindtlk] Directory Assistance???

[christopher nusbaum]

Mark and Mari,

Free 411 is a good option, if it works. The only problem I have found
with this service is that it doesn't have a good voice recognition in
my experience. This voice recognition is the only option you have, as
free 411 doesn't have live operators. Depending on your experience
with this service, You may be better off filling out the form Mark is
talking about with your doctor. You can also look up numbers on your
computer. I now look up most numbers using the research it feature in
JAWS Or the Yellow Pages app on my iPhone.

The other thing you can do is dial free 411, that is 800-373-3411.  That allows you to call directory assistance free.
