Are you tired of paying for all of those 411 calls? Google has launched a new 411 service that is free, and they take it to the next step by connecting you for FREE . No more of this,” you can be connected for an additional 35 cents”. It even gets better! If your phone is internet capable, they'll send you a map of the listing.
All you have to do is call 1-800-466-4411, and an automated service will answer the phone. After giving them the name of the business you're looking for, you will be asked if you'd like to be connected, or if you'd like additional details. If you ask for additional details, you will be given the name of the business, address, and phone number.
I can't tell you how much time this is going to save for me. As a real estate professional, it seems as if I live on the phone. The convenience factor of this new automated 411 service is great. Just last week I needed to round up some rental projections for a client. I had to pull off of the road, get out of the car, find the phonebook, and then waste another 10 minutes thumbing through all of the yellowpages. The 1-800 number is now programmed into my cell phone, and it works great!
