Stop Paying for 411 on Your Cell Phone

You still dialing 4-1-1 on your cell phone when you need directory assitance? Well Stop! For example: T-Mobile will charge you $1.49 for a 411 call. Other cell providers costs vary, but they do charge you something.

Instead, try programming 1-800-FREE-411 (800 373 3411) into your speed dial instead.

You’ll have to listen to two ads. One at the beginning of your call, and another just before you receive the number you are looking for. I tried this a few time and it found every residential and business number I was looking for. Unfortunately, there is no option to be automatically connected to the call, but with the way I use directory assitance, this will save me over $10 a month.

 Another good one to try is Google’s Free 411. (1-800-GOOG-411). They will automatically connect you to your number, however they only provide assistance with businesses and commercial properties.
