GOOG-411 is some sort of business finding service by Google and its voice-activated, so you can access it from any phone (mobile or land line), in any location, at any time. For free.

Dial (1-800) GOOG-411. Say where. Say what you're looking for. GOOG-411 will connect you with the business you choose.

See it here.

Wow...this is great but I think it's only available in the States. Hmm...but I'm just wondering how they can provide it completely free? Any catch?

The say that its free .. but then catch ??? Cant say!Might be after delevering the clients they might be going and geting hold on the neck of the business propriter or owner to whom the coustomer was refered??Or might be the business premices needs to register first with them for getting a previlage from them!!Just some random imaginations!

Hmm...Somehow there's always a catch whenever there's a catchy phrase that says "completely free". Sounds too common as we often come the same thing everyday

Yes thats very true!! There should be some * somewhere

i mean terms and conditinons.

But then most of the people would beleave it and try it out cos its a google service and now most of the people have started to trust Google blindly.

Hope they dont fall back to their trust!

From what I read further from reviews, it says that there are absolutely no strings attached even with ads so basically it's free right to the ground.

I also found out that it's actually an idea stolen with the intention of giving a tough competition to a similar company offering the same business concept and service. Check out Free411.

They prolly make it like adsense:

Your a plumber? good good.... want to pay $200 a month to be first suggested?

lol
