Google 411

Ever need to look up a phone number on the fly, but don't want to pay for 411? Have no fear for there is a free solution. Google. Google really is amazing. It seems they can do anything including 411, both via regular phone call and text message. These services are both great. To use the regular calling method call 1-800-GOOG-411 (1-800-466-4411). It is is all automated and uses voice recognition which is usually spot on, but this method only allows you to look up businesses but residential numbers should be on the way. The other method is text message. From any cell phone text the name of the person and the city they live in to googl (46645).

Example:

John Doe Anywhere, New York



Within seconds Google will text you back with the number and address. I love both of these methods and find them quite useful. Try them out yourself.
