Free 411?
- posted by Mail Clerk @ 8:34 AM | Permanent Link

Has anyone tried Free 411 yet? I got an e-mail about it the other day and while it seems to good to be true, it does seem plausible to have a free, advertising-supported 411 service.

The e-mail I got pitched it for cell-phone use ("only charged for airtime"), but if there's ads, that might counteract it. The only down I can see for home use if it attracts telemarketers (which, if you've registered on the Do Not Call Registry, shouldn't happen). Snopes seems down with it. Is there a catch?

(Note: Since composing this post, Vet Pharmacist gave it a try and it does work great - at least for the personal phone number she got - maybe different for a business number.)
