When it comes to free directory assistance, you have LOTS of choices. They differ in some important ways, so try them all out and see which one(s) you prefer. You may want to try them all every so often just to see what's new! Grin!
I prefer the ones that have operators to help when the automation doesn't recognize me and that also don't restrict me to only business searches - sometimes I need to find people, too!

I tried 1800-411save and I got what I was looking for FREE of charge. I was able to look for business, my friends phone number and address and for government listings as well. Thanks for the tip. I will use this number more often because it's operator assisted.
