directory assistance (for traveling in the U.S.A.)

[PaulFromJingle]

Hey everyone,

Full disclosure: this is Paul from 1-800-Free411. I'm not here to advertise or disrupt the community, but rather I just wanted to share some helpful information for those traveling to the U.S. We've discovered in our research that some of the people who are *still* calling 411 are those traveling through the States from other countries, and because 411 used to be free in the U.S., most of these people aren't aware that they're now being charged about $2 per 411 call. Because travelers are so often the ones who are both away from computers and badly in need of information, they're the ones who are getting gouged the most.

Our number -- 1-800-Free411 -- is just as free as the name implies. Of course, there are other free directory assistance services as well, and perhaps responders can mention them.

Thanks for letting me share this information, in the hopes of saving travelers a bit of cash.

Cheers,
Paul
