My home health aide told me I could dial 411 to get connected with any person or place in any state (where I was unaware of the number) in the same manner as described below. I "thought" it was free but when we got our next phone bill it was something like a dollar! So 411 charges but what is described below using "Google" (supposedly) sounds different and free.
I have found that there is nothing much "free" in life so always beware. If anybody else on the list tries this with success and having it be completely and totally free - surely let us know!
