True Wheelie. I've had free 411 and free operator dialing for many
years through several different phone companies. And you do have to
tell them (with a doc's statement if I remember right) that you're a
cripple and can't handle a phone book or dial phone numbers.

At 01:36 PM 12/18/2008, [email protected] said something that
elicited my response:
Lori and all others, you should contact your primary telephone,
customer service or business office and
advise them of your disAbility. In most cases your 411 will not be
charged. But you have to register first.

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!
