[nagdu] Directory Assistance

[Wayne Merritt]

Just for what its worth, if you have a constant Internet connection,
you can usually use Google or other search/directory sites to look up
numbers and business information. I too participated in the free
directory assistance at one time too. However, since I've had the web,
I go to google, type in the business or person's name followed by the
city/state or zip code, and often the results come right up. For
example: Chili's Austin Texas, or Chili's 78756, for my location.
Also, I've heard in recent years that everyone is allowed a max of 2
or 3 directory assistance calls per month. Even if you have to dial
411, the first few calls may be free.

A thought,
Wayne
