For those of you who hate paying $2 every time you dial directory assistance from your cell phone, I heard about a cool tool today. If you send a text to Google (466453) and type a name, and a city and state if necessary, you get free directory assistance via a return text. The response is immediate and free unless you have to pay for the text through your plan.
Try it: Debbie Small, Martinsburg or sample Google SMS online
DEBBIE - Thanks for sharing this tip. There is another way to do it by phone also. Call 1-800-FREE-411. It takes a bit of time because you have to listen to an ad, but it beats paying $2 to get a phone number.
Adam - I use the 800-FREE-411 on my office land line too. Thanks for the reminder.
Debbie, Great Tip! I'll put the 466453 in my cell phone along with 1-800-Free-411.
Also, Thanks for commenting on my blog post!

The directory assistance charge is a dinosaur that I don't mind seeing headed to its own demise.
