I've used this service for about a year now... very handy on my cell phone and much cheaper. When it first started I would get an ad every 10th call or so, but now there are several short ads before you get your number. Still much cheaper than using the cell phone company's directory assistance! I love that I can be driving down the road and get a number lickety-split!
I have known about this free service for quite some time, and learning about it had nothing to do with MyPoints, but buy viewing this video, I did earn some points form MyPoints.
I remember when getting directory assistance was free for a local calling area. I also remember when pay phones had a phone book attached. Then again, I remember pay phones period.
I'll use it if needed, but I wonder what the "catch" is for the free service. Listening to an ad beforehand? I'm just guessing, but that's the most likely way of maintaining revenue. Glad that I know how to hum. :-)
With all due respect you can "prefer" anything you'd like of course. I have some useless land for sale, and I'll raise the price JUST 4 U. Kiddin'.
But I will seriously tell you that if you made 1000 information calls over a lifetime (which is nothing, except once a month!) at $2 each and that money was placed in a money market over 75 years it would amounts to more than $175,000. Think about it! And if you don't want to think, I'm posting it for others to think about. Have a good day.
I have used this service for ovr a year and been a MyPoints member for over 8. They both are great services. FREE411 has saved me a LOT of money. The voice response isn't the greatest, however, once you get to an actual person, they are great. I travel nationwide and have to use 411 all the time. Thanks Free411 and MyPoints for a job well done.
Great service! I have been using this for 4 months. The "short" ad I listen to is usually shorter than the wait time I get when I pay!!!
I swear the have the voice recognition set to only recognize a short, German, who livedhis life in Brazil but now comes from Brooklynn! Because no matter how slow or clear I speak I still must wait for an operator!!
No dis intended since I am one half of that phrase...a short German
This isn't a way to collect phone numbers for telemarketers. It is paid for by advertising. It is a great service. I've been using it for about 6 months and nevwer had a problem.
It's called caller-id. And, on the business side of phone service, there is no way to block caller-id completely. You call them, and they will store you phone number for selling to others like telemarketers. Trust it if you want, but I wouldn't.
I have been using this for about a yr now and I have no problem with it and they don't store your numbers, you listen to their ad and then the operator will get the numbers you want
Riiiiiiight. I bet you put your e-mail address on every web page you visit too. Again, trust them if you want, but I bet their usage statement has loop holes. They all do today. "There's a sucker born every minute." - P.T. Barnum
So far I have not received any phone calls from advertisers,I have not had a problem w/their service, and I use it about 7-8 times a week, I have used it over a yr. so I will keep my money in pocket and go the free route.
I have used this service from my cell phone for over a year. I have never, ever received any type of telemarketing or solicitation calls at that number. Not everyone is out to scam their customers.
this service is great (I remember when 411 was free LOL) and think paying for information is a bit weird, the only thing about free 411 is they have ads (like a commercial on the phone while you wait for your number) thats how they can do it for free, advertisers pay to advertise something thru the company, hey works for me :)
Great video! I've actually been using this service for a while. Someone from work passed this on about a year ago. You often have to listen to a commercial before you get your number, but it's better than paying! This is a great way to spread the news on this service!
