Free 411 Calls (Directory Assistance)
It seems that directory assistance (411) is getting more expensive every year. Cell and local carriers continue to charge more and more – all while more and more Internet sites offer it for free. The good news for carriers is that people continue to use it, to the tune of 6 billion directory assistance calls made per year (in 2005). At $1.00+ per call, that’s pretty lucrative!
Alas! Now you can have your directory assistance free (again)!
I received an email ‘forward’ that touted a number to call for free assistance: 1-800-FREE-411 [800.373.3411]. At first, I thought it was a hoax, but I my trusty sidekick, Snopes.com, informed me that it wasn’t!. Click her to see – it is indeed legit!
My husband will love this news. He cringes every time he sees it on my cell bill. I’m programming this one in my phone.
