Free Directory Assistance (411)
Tired of paying $2 or $3 for directory assistance? 1-800-FREE411 (that's 1-800-373-3411) will provide the phone number for businesses, government offices, and residences across the U.S. It's advertising-supported: if you ask for a particular florist, it might give you a 12-second pitch for a different florist and ask if you want to connect to them instead. It's run by a nifty voice-recognition system… when I didn't speak clearly, though, I was immediately forward to an actual human for help.
