Mom on the Go: The 411 on money-saver
I have the saddest cell phone plan in the land: No text messaging, no free calls. So I was plum happy to find a money-saver for when I needed to call for information.
Google is offering a free 411 service and it works like a charm. At least it did for me on Friday, when I wanted to place a takeout order for shrimp fried rice.
I dialed the Google number, and told the Dude (an automated voice) the name of the restaurant, city and state of its location. I had part of the name wrong, but Dude corrected me and then connected me. 
Whoopee!
Save this number in your cell, and let me know how it works for you. Of course, normal cell phone fees apply if you have a limited cell phone plan as I do.
The number: 800 GOOG 411 (that's 800-466-4411).

There is another great free directory assistance service out there. I prefer to call 1-800-FREE411 instead of Goog because they have more capabilities (such as government and residential listings) in addition to their business listings. They are also have a Valentine's Day Promotion where you can call 1-800-FREE411 (1-800-373-3411) anytime on Valentine's Day EST and be connected to anyone in the U.S. for 10 free minutes!!!
