1-800-GOOG411

Here is a cool service from Google that can help even when you can’t get online.  We were in downtown Disney and needed to make a dinner reservation.  We knew the name of the restaurant, but didn’t know the phone number.

Using a cell phone I called Google 411 (1-800-GOOG411).  The automated voice asked for the city and state.  It then asked for the type of business or the name of the business I was trying to reach.  I said the name of the restaurant.  Google repeated it back to me and asked if I would like to be connected.  It was just that easy.

On top of all that, the Google 411 service is free.
