I use Cincinnati Bell's 411 and it is always free untill I use it. Then I have to call and get it credited to the next month. I'll use google 411 just so I don't have to talk to the idiots at Cincy bell. john

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.

In most cases your 411 will not be charged. But you have to register first. Best Wishes In a message dated 12/18/2008 12:34:21 P.M.

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!

Say I am driving along in my car and I need to call the golf course but I don't know the number.
