  • Call 1-800-FREE411 (or 1-800-373-3411) to navigate a nifty automated voice recognition system that asks for a location (city and state), type of listing (business, government, or residential), and name. Once the service has located an entry for the requested number, it reads the information aloud and offers the caller the option of connecting to the number by pressing a single number on his telephone keypad.
    
    How can this be free? Businesses pay to sponsor it in exchange for presenting a 12-second ad to callers from a competitive business and you can choose which one you want to connect with: your found business or the competitor. If there is no competitor near you, you don't get an ad.
