Here's a number worth putting in your cell phone, or your home phone speed dial: 1-800-goog411 or 1-800-466-4411.
This is a great service from Google, and it's free -- great when you are on the road. Don't waste your money on information calls and don't waste your time manually dialing the number.
I am driving along in my car and I need to call the computer store and I don't know the number. I hit the speed dial for information that I have programmed (1-800-466-4411). The voice at the other end says, "Say the name of the business and the City & State." I say, "Tri State Computer, Matamoras PA”. He says, "Connecting" and Tri State Computer answers the phone.
How great is that? This is nationwide, US & Canada, and it is absolutely free! Works on cell and landline phones, all you have to remember is 1-800-466-4411. Give it a try.
Click on the link below and watch the short clip for a quick demonstration.

PS; I will also be giving some other features of this in the next print issue's Gadget Corner...
