Google 411 can greatly reduce mobile phone expenses for businesses
January 2, 2008Stop paying for 411 calls now! Goog-411 is a free telephone based information service that could replace toll 411 calls. About 2.6 billion 411 calls are made in the U.S. each year, and it is a $7 billion/year market.Goog-411 can be accessed by dialing 1-800-GOOG-411. Goog-411 is voice activated. After dialing you tell it your city and state, and then ask for a specific business or business category. In my tests the product was excellent. Results are spoken back or text messaged back to you, and you are automatically connected to the phone number requested.
GOOG-411 is using Google’s normal local business information available on Google Maps and elsewhere. Businesses that want to add or correct data can do so here.
