Google 411 Telephone Service

Post by braincell »

Just leave it up to Google to come up with something like this!!!


Here's a number worth putting in your cell phone, or your home phone speed dial: 1-800-466-4411. This is an awesome service from Google, and it's free -- great when you are on the road. Don't waste your money on information calls and don't waste your time manually dialing the number. I am driving along in my car and I need to call the golf course and I don't know the number. I hit the speed dial for information that I have programmed The voice at the other end says, "Say the name of the business and the City & State." I say, "Firewheel Golf Course, Garland , Texas .' He says, "Connecting," and Firewheel answers the phone. How great is that? This is nationwide and it is absolutely free! Works on cell and landline phones.

Click on the link below and watch the short clip for a quick demonstration.

Yeah but I tend to get lost a lot and sometimes humans are more helpful than maps.

now google knows you talk on your phone while driving.
so if they find an advertiser who offers a service which would appeal to inconsiderate people they can put an ad on your gmail account :D
