I heard about this “free” 411 or directory assistance number a while ago but just shrugged it off as another 10-10-220 type deal. I never doubted it wasn’t free I just assumed it was for cell phones and used the web to access whitepages.com or something.

Turns out if you use 1-800-Free411 it gives you directory assistance for free. Well free but you have to listen to 12 seconds of advertisement. Really a good deal considering I grew up dialing the local weather line to get the time and temp and had to listen to banking ads about home equity loans and what not.
