Dialing 411 Is So Old School!

I love saving my clients both time and money, so this new, experimental service from the brilliant folks at Google Labs is a no-brainer. It's called Google Voice Local Search and it's pretty much the same as dialing 411 on your phone to get directory assistance.

Dial 1-800-GOOG-411 from any phone and get connected to an automated system that will look up numbers for you and even connect you free of charge. Because it's still in the experimental stages, it's not 100% reliable. Plus I'm sure at some point, once they work out the kinks, they might start charging for the service. But use it for free while you can and stop paying those charges to your wireless or land line phone service provider.
