[nfbwatlk] Tell Me Is going out of business

[Philip Blackmer]

Comcast offers free 411 service for the blind, and depending on what you are
looking for there is 211 non-profit directory assistance.

Unfortunately for many, you can't, and won't find any voice phone system to
provide the range of services TellMe offered.  We're being led by the
companies that be into being a smartphone nation.  There's no advantage for
them to provide those phone services when all that content and much more is
available via smartphone.  As an iPhone user, I haven't called TellMe for
information, or even Bing411 for phone numbers, with anything resembling the
frequency with which I used to call those services.  There are innumerable
apps to use to get business phone numbers, and residential phone numbers
exist less and less in a directory.

I think 800-free411 is still functioning.

For those who have used the 800 tell me phone service, you probably already
know that it's being discontinued as of June 1.  Just wonder where else we
can get services via phone like those provided now on that service.
