A few months back Google introduced its 1-800-GOOG-411 service, which provides users with free business info. You just call or text the number (1-800-466-4411) ask for help and your answer is spoken back or text messaged back to you (just by saying text message), and the number you requested is automatically given to you free of charge. It's less expensive than 411 (cause it's free!) and is just as easy as the old school service.
