Google 411

1-800-GOOG-411

Thank you Wendy and Tech Zest for this one!!  http://techzestblog.com/Cell phone keypad

Google’s at it again. They are known for easy and free, and GOOG-411 is no exception. This time they’re eliminating those expensive cell phone calls to 411 directory assistance. Their free service helps you find what you need fast and easily, and they’ll even connect your call or send you a map to the location.

It’s completely voice-activated. Program 1-800-GOOG-411 into your cell phone favorites and you’re ready to go. When you’ve found the business you want, say “text it” to send full details to your phone, or say “map it” to get a mobile map (assuming your phone has mapping capabilities).

Check out this video for a quick overview:

For full details, visit the 1-800-GOOG-411 Home Page. Or just program in that number and give it a try. It’s really that easy. Gotta love Google!

    Brett from Dial Directions here. Another neat service is getting directions delivered right to your cell phone. Just call 1-DIR-ECT-IONS (1-347-328-4667) from any cell phone, speak your start and destination address or intersection, and receive by text message turn-by-turn driving directions. Super easy, and it’s free. Only your carrier charges for talk and SMS may apply.
