Here are a couple of suggestions on ways to save a little for information calls.

1.) Text message to google (46645): you can enter in the name of the place that you are looking for and the zip code. Approximately 2 text messages will return to your phone with the information requested. You will be paying $.20 per message (sent and received).

2.) Calling 1-800-FREE-411: by calling this number you are only using your minutes. When calling this number you will need to listen to advertisements.

3.) For blackberry users, look at the website 411.com. You will search for the place that you are looking for and can click on the listing and dial the number.
