Why pay for something when you can get it for free?

Back in the days before the break up of ATT and deregulation in the telecom industry 411 info calls used to be free. Many people still assume that 411 calls are free. Most companies charge anywhere from 25 cents up to 2 dollars for each 411 directory assistance call.

Now there's a way you can get them 100% free through Google's new GOOG-411 service.

You simply call 1-800-GOOG-411. That's 1-800-4664-411. Below is a vid from YouTube showing how it works.
