How to Get a Free 411 Directory on a Phone

1. Dial 1-800-FREE-411 on your cell phone when you need a number right away. Request a personal or business listing to match your needs.
2. Listen to a 10 second message from the company's advertisers, tailored to the phone number you ask for. Considering the price of cell phone information, this is a small price to pay.
3. Pay attention to the message, because your call connects when it is over. If the company doesn't have an advertiser for the type of business you requested, the message is very short.
4. Follow the voice prompts and ask for the number you need, after listening to the advertisement on your cell phone. These advertising messages are how the service remains free to you.
5. Receive the phone number you requested.
