Cost of 411 Call with Verizon
Is there a way to get around the cost of a 411 call. The wife has verizon and she is charged $1.99 per 411 call. Is there another number that she could call and not be charged?

- uncle google?
- There used to be a free 411 service that required you listen to an ad before you got an operator. Last I heard it failed simply because nobody uses 411 anymore, paid or not. Someone has to pay those folks.. suck it up or get a smart phone..
- What's...411? :)
- It's information for phone numbers and locations.
- How much were you billed for asking your question here? ;)
- What type of phone do you have? I would check with Verizon. They used to have a limit on the charges. You would be charged so much per 411 call until you reached a certain total then they would be free till the next billing cycle. I personally have a smart phone and use either google or I have a white/yellow pages app for that. I have found it is also highly useful to keep the destination campground number as you can call them and they are usually glad to dig up a number for you.
- There is Google's 4-1-1 service, there are also apps you can put on the phone such as the White Pages.com app.. These basically turn you into 4-1-1 operator once you get good enough at using them.
Google itself can often provide the info on a basic search.. For example:
Google: Restaurants 48423,, Will get you listings for all restaurants in Davison, MI (zip code 48423)
Or Google: Archie's Restaurant, Davison, Mi. (or 48423) will get you one specific restaurant, followed by many others.
Google me.. Won't get you a phone number, but then neither will White pages or 4-1-1 cause ... Well.. I opted out.
