They differ in some important ways, so try them all out and see which one(s) you prefer – you may just end up with more than one in your phone directory. Also, with this many companies trying to get our search attention, you may want to try them all again every so often just to see what's new! Grin! I prefer the ones that have operators to help when the automation doesn't recognize me, that get me accurate information fast, and that also don't restrict me to only business searches - sometimes I need to find people, too! 1-800-YellowPages (800-935-5697) 1-800-2ChaCha (800-224-2242) 1-800-411-SAVE (800-411-7283) 1-800-555-Tell (800-555-8355) 1-800-Call-411 (800-225-5411) 1-800-Call-Dex (800-225-5339) 1-800-Free-411 (800-373-3411) 1-800-Goog-411 (800-466-4411) 1-800-Info-Fast (800-463-6327) 1-800-The-Info (800-843-4636) When it comes to free directory assistance (aka, “411” or “information”), you and your readers have LOTS of choices, including several that have been around since well before the Google version and others that have come out since.
