Put this in the Cell Phone Fanatic category of users – those people who are always looking for a new app for their phone. That’s not hard if you have an iPhone with its robust app store; the rest of us have to search a little harder. Enter Google and 1-800-GOOG-411.

 

This is a free 411 service for your phone that helps you find a local business – by name (Pizza Hut) or by category (pizza delivery) – then dials that business for you. It’s all voice activated and you can use your cell phone or your land line, any time, any where. If you’re using your cell phone just say “text message” or “map it” and GOOG 411 will send you a text message with directions and a map.

 

It’s quick, it’s easy and it’s free. Try it and see what you think. There’s a video to show you how, plus a list of FAQ if you want all the details. In the video they order pizza; me, I just asked for the nearest shoe store (we probably don’t need to mention this to my husband).
