[Blindtlk] Directory Assistance???

[Ray Foret Jr]

Absolutely right Mike.  Getting out of paying for telephonic directory service due to blindness has always gone against everything I hold true.  Not to mention which, it was always more of a bother to get set up than it wound up being worth.

I get my numbers from:

www.free411.com

Works bettre anyhow.


Sincerely,
The Constantly Barefooted Ray
Still a very proud and happy Mac and Iphone user!
