Google offers 411 Service

Did you know Google offers a 411 service that is totally free? It can be used by calling 1-800-GOOG-411. I tried it for a few random searches. It is not perfect as it is computer automated. If you do not speak clearly or speak too fast, it does get confused.

You do not think anyone will be bothered by the phone?

Do you really understand how many people call traditional 411 service every minute of every day now? Not everyone is near their computer all the time.
