Free Directory Assistance from Google

Tired of paying a $1.00 or more for directory assistance? Google now offers two free ways you can get help without paying normal directory assistant fees.

You can call Google at 1(800)-GOOG-411 (800-466-4411) or you can text Google at 46645. If you choose the text option, simply indicate the name of the business or person, the city and state. Within seconds, you’ll get a text back with the address and phone number.

You can even do a search by category which is helpful when you’re out of town and know you want to eat pizza, but don’t know the name of a good pizza joint in the area. It works both with calling direct or texting. The text may show up in multiple texts depending on how many results there are (text only allows 160 characters).
