I like most people spend allot of time day in and day out on the phone, sometimes we just don't know a phone number or we forgot it. Google has 2 great services for us to use to avoid paying .99 cents and $1.75 for directory assistance calls. About 2.6 billion 411 calls are made in the U.S. each year, and it is a $7 billion/year market, to me this is a rip off when this information is already free in phone books.

To try this service, just dial 1-800-GOOG-411 (1-800-466-4411) from any phone.
Using this service, you can:
* search for a local business by name or category.
You can say "Olive Garden" or just "italian food".
* get connected to the business, free of charge.
* get the details by SMS if you’re using a mobile phone.
Just say "text message".

To try this service, just text to: 466453 or "GOOGLE"
Also if you are a textaholic just like me and love the convenience of just texting, you can now text Google.
