Cellular providers typically charge $1.25 to $1.75 per 411 call. If you make a lot of 411 calls, the charges can really add up.
To get 411 service for free, just call 1-800-FREE411 (1-800-373-3411).
What to expect:
- An automated attendant prompts you for the type of listing, the location, and the name. If it doesn’t recognize your request, you’ll be transferred to a live operator.
- Before getting the number, you’ll have to sit through a 10-second ad. If you’ve asked for a general business listing, the operator will offer to connect you to a sponsored business.
- You will NOT be connected to the number, so have a pen and paper handy.
