They're ok with the easy stuff but I found another free service 800-411-SAVE this weekend with real people answering the phone.  I guarantee you'll prefer talking to people.

That video was just stupid. Tried 411Save - got an operator and she seemed annoyed. Goog411 if you don't mind automation all the time, or 800-The-Info if you sometimes need some help with an operator. 411Save? That video was just stupid.

Great response time as well. Check out their video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLvUGXL4oCY.

One thing that's great is they have operators if you need it. Goog and Call411 are only automated and that works a some of the time, but I've found that a human is something that you just can't replace.

As described in responses to the original post above, some characteristics will be more important to each user than others. Be sure to try them all, put your favorites in your mobile phone directory, and try them all again every so often. You never know when you will change who your favorite is!!

And, I still pay for 411 sometimes, too! It all just depends on the situation - now we all have a lot more choices, depending on the situation. Happy calling!

This service is provided by Verizon, who has one of the best directory databases in the business. I was able to get a listing quickly, and have it sent to my cell phone before connecting to the business I requested. When I called back to do a little more checking, I was able to search by Category, which would be great while traveling. Better to use one built by an expert in the field, as they have been offering paid directory assistance for years. The operators where very nice and helpful when I had to go there.
