FREE Directory Assistance (411) - home or cell phones!

Yes, indeed, it is true - you can avoid paying fees for calling directory
assistance:

Cell* phone companies are charging us $1.00 or more for 411/information calls when they don't have to.

When you need to use the 411/information option, simply dial 1-800-FREE-411
or 1 800-373-3411 without incurring a charge at all except for the minutes
required to make the call. Occasionally you'll have to listen to a brief advertisement (selling air time to advertisers is how they keep it free).

Works on home phone also.

Good to know.

This was my original post:

This seemed like a very good number to program into my cell phone (since I'm never near a phone book or online directory if I have to make a cell call.)

1-800-411-METRO (6387)

I used it once from my cell phone so far, and the operator was live, articulate and friendly. What more could you ask for?

Well, I thank both of you. I've emailed it on to my kids because one likes to save money and because one likes to spend it
