Marin Real Estate Pulse

Because of the prohibitive cost, I almost never use directory assistance, this is especially true of cell phones but it applies to home land lines as well.  This is a huge money maker for the telecommunications industries.  Google has come along to save the day with a free 411 service, here are the FAQ’s and a feature overview.

Simply dial 800-GooG-411 . so the full number looks like this:  800-466-4411.  There are a couple of cool features.  The first is the sophisticated voice recognition software, it understands English better than most call centers.  The other awesome feature is you can ask for businesses by category, for example “restaurants in San Rafael” as well as maps.

Remember: Call 800-466-4411 for Free Directory Assistance, even works on a cell phonel.

I was showing a friend of mine how cool this Google product is and when he called a recording answered saying the service was overloaded and to call back.  I have never experienced that so I can’t comment on how frequent that might occur.
We all like a bargain and this one is free, so let a friend know.
