google's free 411 service
i am so excited about this new service from google. free and i mean totally free 411 calls from your cell phone. free.
"To try this service, just dial 1-800-GOOG-411 (1-800-466-4411) from any phone.
Using this service, you can:
* search for a local business by name or category.
You can say "Giovanni's Pizzeria" or just "pizza".
* get connected to the business, free of charge.
* get the details by SMS if you’re using a mobile phone.
Just say "text message".
And it's free. Google doesn’t charge you a thing for the call or for connecting you to the business. Regular phone charges may apply, based on your telephone service provider."
taken straight from google's page. it really doesn't get better than this. i am so tired of 411 on my cell, listening to ads for the other free service or paying way too much. this has just made it's own entry in my cell phone. and it will text you the number. now that's awesome.

New Gears Maps "Hidden Fronts" REVIEWED
