[X] Google Voice Local Search

Welcome to Google Voice Local Search

Google Voice Local Search is Google’s experimental service to make local-business search accessible over the phone.
To try this service, just dial 1-800-GOOG-411 (1-800-466-4411) from any phone.
Using this service, you can:

search for a local business by name or category.
You can say "Giovanni's Pizzeria" or just "pizza".


get connected to the business, free of charge.


get the details by SMS if you’re using a mobile phone.
Just say "text message".

And it's free. Google doesn’t charge you a thing for the call or for connecting you to the business. Regular phone charges may apply, based on your telephone service provider.


Note: Google Voice Local Search is still in its experimental stage. It may not be available at all times and may not work for all users. We’re fine-tuning the service to get better at recognizing your requests. It’s currently only available in English, in the US, for US business listings.

Didn't you mean 911 ?

I have been using 1-800-free-411 and it works like a champ. I have avoided several fees by using this. The only catch is that the call is sponsored and there is a 15 sec ad before they give you the info. Still better than 1-2 bucks for a phone number.
