but here is the lastest info I have received.

It is a godsend for me..... I spend more money on 411 calls while on the road than I pay for state taxes on my cell phone.
 
BTW, the lady on the commercial might not sell her orange roll over minutes, but being unemployed I will sell my 4000 rollover minutes......  takers ??

Darn !  That makes sense ! 
But if I kept every number I dialed, even only if once per year, I'd have to scroll a long way down to find my brother's cell number.  I am dyslexic so I don't even use speed dial.  Except for one, Sir.

Your phone doesn't have voice dial?

If you can stand to spend 2 to 3 minutes on the phone to get just about any number it is AMAZING.

and it is Free. Takes a little while to get used to and it can take some knowledge of where the buttons are on your phone and you may need to write down the number because I think they charge you to text it to your phone but I have used it religiously and have never paid for 411 calls since

I've not seen a charge for having a listing texted to my phone but I will look again to make sure. I use Free411 all the time - saves me a LOT of headaches.

I was aware of the Google 411...but I haven't implemented it (put it on speed dial). 

I'm in a new city every 15 - 20 days, constantly unaware of any number of things that you can never truly prepare for...and use regular 411 constantly.

Thanks for the reminder.

(Some of us are old(er)....and we don't feel the need to replace our phones every time they come up with some new feature...I've had my current phone for about 6 years...and frankly, it works just fine, thank you very much :).  When they come up with an automatic blow job feature...or anti grav device....then I might consider changing over :))

I've had 2 cell phones since 2005, when I finally broke down and got one.  My last one was the cheapest phone avaliable, and it had voice dial.  It finally conked out on me last year.  I replaced it with the cheapest phone I could get.  It has voice dial; It's not exactly a new feature.  I am the cheapest SOB in the world; I never run out to grab up the newest piece of technocrap.
