Free 411?

talk random
1

This is for North America only.

So if you have a phone number structured like this “(011) 81 5 6408 3901”… you might as well just click the back button you freak :wink:

I got this email this morning.

This is also verified on snopes.

so if you’ve been paying a buck a whack for directory assistance like me…stop

Isn’t 411 pretty much a person with white/yellow pages?

old news:hugegrin: :smirk2:

rockin. i didn’t know about this. i also never used 411 due to rape charges i would incur. will def use this next time.

5

Maybe to you nipplehead :lol: :wink:

I still dial 411 :smiley: They give me directions to get my *** around the city when I need it. I like to take walks on random paths. I’ll probably be molested some day, but when I end up at some random street, it’s good to know I can call to figure out how the hell to get home.

7

^ they tell you where to score a prostitute? :chinaman:

8

I"ll try that sometime :smiley:

9

Good stuff…

I didnt know that…verizon charges me like 1.49 everytime and when they give me the wrong number I want to reach threw the phone and strangle them…

You can call them and tell them they gave you the wrong number. They’ll give you the right number, hopefully, and you won’t be charged extra.

Oh and you can make it so that the people don’t charge you by asking the directory lady or man to just give you the number rather than use the automated and transfer. That’s free 411 too :stuck_out_tongue:

wow cool!

i always wanted to use 411… but it costs too much so I just go find a phone book :slight_smile:

I’ll deffinately give this a try

12

lol, i tried it out!

the voice recognition was really cool it worked perfectly… I called it a second time on speaker phone to show my dad, and it said all lines were busy, so… i try again… this time it was a real person, weird. lol she’s like “city and state please” and I’m like “see dad, isn’t that cool!” and she says “sir, city or state please”… and I’m like oh shoot sry

it didnt ask me if I wanted to connect though… it just repeated the number twice, then said goodbye.

13

Probably because it costs money for them to connect you to that phone number. (You’re pretty much having the 411 people call the number.)

14

I really want to know who is backing this $$

I mean the infrastructure, equipment and salaries obviously aren’t free.

Were there ads you had to listen to or anything 3D?

15

This is really old, and there are several others doing the same thing. I’ve never used 411, but I’ve got the rest of my family using it.

I like talking to a computer better anyways, and eventually they will connect you to a person.

16

It’s not that tough to setup a 411 op. The pay for the folks is dirt cheap, and there probably is some advertising. If there isn’t, i’m sure they must have some sort of deal with the phone companys or something to reduce their load. Must be something.

Sorry to bore you with ancient information bro. Did you know that each morning I when I wake up, I punch myself ten to twelve times in the face because i’m not you? :wink:

Man do I hate automated voice recognition systems. It NEVER gives me what I want because of my heavy Boston accent. It either gives me the wrong number or transfers me to a rep and I have to repeat myself again.
