Free 411 For your Cellular Phone
Wireless carriers already suck away our money with fees and taxes, which iswhy most of us try to avoid using 411 unless we have too. Turns out, we might
not have to worry about paying for directory assistance anymore. Free411.com is
offering free 411 services in exchange for listening to an advertisement before
being directed to an agent. All you have to do is dial 1-800-Free411, listen to
a 10 second ad, and then you will be connected to an operator. And no worries
about quality of service, the company claims to use the same directory
assistance data from the same sources as phone carriers. So far this all sounds almost to
good to be true - listening to a 10 second advertisement is a small price to pay
for free 411, I just hope they don’t go out of business or get bought out like
so many other novelty free services have in the past. (Anyone remember when
College Club offered free voicemail, Onebox offered free fax, voice and e-mail
Box services, or Netzero when it really cost Zero?) (Source: News.com)
