Get the 411 for Free
February 3rd, 2007
Here are some typical questions that arise when my husband and I are out on the road:
What’s the cross-street?
When do they close?
Do we need reservations?
When’s the next showing?
Have they already stopped serving dim sum?
To solve mysteries like these, we call 1-800-FREE411 to get the number of the establishment we want to reach.
1-800-FREE411 provides nationwide directory assistance for free from any phone. Compare that to what some of the largest wireless providers charge for dialing 411:
T-Mobile: $1.49
Verizon Wireless: $1.49
Cingular/AT&T: $1.79
Sprint: $1.79
Alltel: $1.50
Now all I ask for are more all-day dim sum places.

I’ve tried the service and it’s horrible, the automated attendant never understands me and the live operators don’t know the meaning of “customer service”!!!!!! I have had much better results just paying the $1.75 and getting my accurate information fast and easily without having to listen to annoying ads or calling back numerous times until I finally get the right information. When I’m on the road and need to use my cell phone to get information, I need that information fast and the “free” option has only proven to be a waste of my time and minutes.

I’ve used the service and actually I’ve had pretty good success with it. Maybe my requests are too easy to interpret? I just think it’s silly to pay $1.75 for directory assistance. And I hope people realize that the live operators they’re paying $1.75 for are the same operators they’re getting when they call the free service. It’s an outsource type of world, you know.
