FREE 411 on your cell or home phone!!!

Tired of paying outrageous fees and using up your precious minutes to get a phone number you need, when you are away from internet access or paper phone book? Then the Jingle Network has the perfect solution!

Jingle Networks is providing an alternative directory assistance service — and it's free. Users who call the toll-free number 1-800-FREE411 (or 1-800-373-3411) can 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 Free-411 afford to offer free directory assistance service? It works sort of like commercial radio or television — businesses pay to sponsor it in exchange for presenting their advertisements to customers. The funding of Free-411 is typically explained thusly: The service is made possible by thousands of national and local businesses who sponsor this service with brief valuable audio advertisements that are played to callers who request businesses in their yellow pages category. - Thanks Snopes.com for this awesome report!!

I am an avid FREE 411 user. I actually have it set on Speed Dial on my cell phone and with my Verizon Wireless plan, I have added it to my Friends and Family so I don't spend any minutes retrieving phone numbers!!
