Ever get po'ed over paying a buck or two to call 411 for a phone number? Especially on the road using your cell phone? There is, of course, 800-373-4111, but you have to listen to a commercial and it won't dial the number for you.
Enter Google.
New free service, no commercials AND they dial the number for you. Call 800-466-4411 (800 GOOG411) and when they ask for city/state either speak the zip code or the city/state and go from there.
Caveat: At the present time, it only serves the "Yellow Pages" business listings but I have a feeling they will be expanding to private numbers. You can either name the business or name the category - like boat dealers - and above all it's easy if you don't mind listening to some computer generated voice.
Enjoy.
