Have you noticed that phone companies charge an arm and a leg for directory inquiries?
Last I checked it was well over a dollar at AT&T and the other big boys.
I couldn’t just stand around throwing my money away on frivolous things like information.
For my firstMakeUseOfpost I will be taking you through the wonder that is Goog-411 [Broken URL Removed].
You dial up 1-800-GOOG-411 (1-800-466-4411) from any (US) phone.
After you get a friendly Google hello you follow the voice prompts which are extremely intuitive.
Start by saying your city and state.
They understood me every time even when I put on various accents.
I had previously tried out 800-free-411 and they never understood me - it was infuriating!
For a list of all the commands check outthis page here.
This is all easily save-able on your mobile.
The service is still in its beta stages and currently has NO ads!
Suck it up while you could this is the way most services will be going in the near future.
Well, for most of you.
How about dictionary definitions, calculations, curency exchange rates or movie listings (Google SMS -All Features).
Give it a shot - its free minus the cost of the text messages of course.
Got to love the Google!
