[Ohio-talk] Useful free service

1-800-free-411 can be very frustrating at times even to a sighted person.

Here's another free service, which covers business, government, and 
residential:  800-3733-411 (which is 800-FREE-411).
I use them only when necessary because you have to listen to commercials 
first!

I also use Google411. You should know that AT&T *also* has a free yelow
pages directory at (888) 935-5697 and it is also free. You do hear ad
content but it's brief. And this one covers *both* businesses *and*
residences. So between the two services, we've got it covered. I have
them both in my voicedial.

This information is good. You can dial the number and check yourself.

Leave it to Google to come up with something like this
Here's a number worth putting in your cell phone or your home phone
speed
dial: 1-800-4664-411.

This is an awesome service from Google, and it's free -- great when you
are
on the road.
Don't waste your money on information calls and don't waste your time
manually dialing the number.

I am driving along in my car, and I need to call the golf course, and I
don't
know the number.

I hit the speed dial for information that I have programmed. The voice
at
the other end says, 'City &State.'

I say, ' Garland , Texas .' He says, 'Business, Name or Type of
Service.'
I say, Firewheel Golf Course.'

He says, 'Connecting' and Firewheel answers the phone. How great is
that?
This is nationwide and it is absolutely free!
