Top 3 Free, Must-Try Cell Phone Services
Cell phones make life easier in every way imaginable, but man, can they ever be expensive. From the ubiquitous, painfully expensive 411 to extra fees for text messaging, cell phone charges can overwhelm even the most savvy user. We highlighted a few ways to save time and money with your cell phone a few months back, but we came across this piece that offered up some additional options. Take a look.
The following services are free and and simple to use. We are talking super simple.
800-GOOG-411. Fast, efficient 411 clone run by Google. It has no ads and is free of charge. Uh, hello. Suck it phone companies. It is awesome.
800-FREE-411. For residential listings. There is a 20-second ad in the beginning, but it is totally free.
800-2CHACHA. Now check this out. With this service, you can literally ask any question. Anything. Not every answer is perfect (there is an actual fallible person looking up the answer for you), but overall, a great service.
These are just some of the free services you can use to boost the search power of your phone while cutting costs at the same time. [Source: NY Times]

Hi, Jay from 1-800-FREE411 here. I just wanted to clarify that our number is not ONLY for residential listings. In fact, it has business, gov't, AND residential listings -- all for free. Additionally, we've got category search, Skype compatibility, and driving directions that you can get texted to your cell. Thanks.
