I have to chime in.  love tell me and used for years.  the numbers keep
going away.  here are 3 that work this morning. 330-247-7411, 800-225-5411,
888-835-5630.  I like the updates, good quick way to get info.  when I used
newsline years ago it seemed to be the whole paper.  Is newsline somewhat
similar to tell me?

This whole Bing / Tell Me transition is certainly inconsistent. As of
8:00 PM Pacific Time this evening I can still use the toll-free number,
1-800-225-5411 and it is announced as Bing 4-1-1.
HTH,
Jeff
