Think Twice Before Making a 411 Call on Your Cell Phone
Who knew? At nearly $2 each, 411 calls on University mobile phones cost the University close to $1,000 per month. We'd like to let you know that there are free* alternatives, such as AT&T's free Yellow Pages directory service--1-800-YELLOWPAGES, or 1-800-935-5697. And if you have a mobile browser on your phone, several of the alternatives provide a broader set of services than the traditional 411.
Here are some options you may substitute:
- AT&T's free Yellow Pages directory service--1-800-YELLOWPAGES, or 1-800-935-5697*
- 1-800-GOOG-411 (Google)*
- 1-800-CALL-411 (Microsoft)*
- 411.com from a mobile browser
- For some phones, there are dedicated applications like WhitePages.com
*Please note that all calls use cellular plan minutes. By "free" you'll save on the customarily high services charges.
