Do you get charged $1.50, $1.75, or even more to dial 411? Okay, let me tell you three ways to get around it.
Dial 1 800 FREE 411. You have to listen to a short commercial ad, but that spent minute will mean you don't have to pay for directory assistance
The second number applies to BUSINESSES. Want to find the number of a specific business and don't want to pay for directory assistance?
Try 1 800 GOOG 411
Finally, if all else fails and you need some one on one help, find and write down the phone number for your county's public library. Your tax dollars pay for it. Simply call them and ask their reference desk for the phone numbers and addresses you might need. If they tell you what you can access on the internet yourself, tell them you need help because ...
A) you aren't computer literate (partially true if you don't already know how to find names and addresses using the net)
B) You don't have a computer
C) Your cable is down |
