Google.com/goog411 was no help at all. All it did was tell me I could access the same helpful info on the screen of my mobile phone. I really found calling the 800 number most helpful when trying to find a business while I was on foot. Damn, I wish Google would reconsider! There is always 1-800-FREE 411 Annemarie Cooke Work Incentives Coordinator NJ Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired 153 Halsey St. 6th Floor Newark, NJ 07101 (973)648-3082 [log in to unmask] fax: (973)648-3389 NJ Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired Celebrating 100 Years of Service 1910 - 2010 -----Original Message----- From: Visually Impaired Computer Users' Group List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Deborah Kendrick Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2010 12:23 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [VICUG-L] Anyone know why the demise of GOOG 411? Greetings, For four or five years now, I've used GOOG-411 (800-4774-411) for all my directory assistance needs. It's automated uses excellent voice recognition software, is almost always quick and accurate, and free. The last few times I've called in, I've been greeted with the announcement that the service is going away November 11. Just wondered if anyone here knew why, or of an even sort of remotely equivalent service to replace it. Thanks, Deborah VICUG-L is the Visually Impaired Computer User Group List.
