Vonage offers enhanced 411 directory assistance

Vonage has selected Excell Services to provide its customers with Enhanced Directory Assistance Services (411), including movie listings, stock quotes, sports scores and more. This also includes regular number queries as well as address and reverse searches. In additio, Vonage customers now have access to Directory Assistance services for all of North America as well as many international destinations through the Excell Services network.

No word on pricing or if it tells you how much you will pay BEFORE giving you the information. Nothing like opening your monthly bill and noticing you're getting "shafted" by expensive directing listing information. Maybe I'll try dialing 411 from my home Vonage line a few times trying the various directory lookups just to see what happens. If I post an entry stating I am going bankrupt or selling my Viper, you'll know why!wink

The easiest thing to do in order to avoid all costs whatsoever is to use the recently launched 1-800-infoFAST platform for all directory assistance nationwide. Their number is the same as the name, 1-800-463-6327. They have live operators to assist with all calls, give business recommendations and don't charge a nickle. There is no listening through several paid commercials before getting what you call for, either. You may have a 12 second commercial once in a while for local businesses in some of the States like Idaho and Utah where they are making recommednations for local businesses. This is a dream come true. They even invite businesses to change the programming of their own phone servcies to "idiot proof" the systems so that when an employee presses "411" they get 1-800-infoFAST instead and save a bundle. Try it, you'll love it. We sure do. They save my neighbor's moving company a fortune when the drivers use infoFAST to arrange motels, restaurants, etc. while on the road, all without having to "Google" or find a Yellow Pages or anything. And a live operator can help with everything instead of a computerized IVR system or someone sitting in a call center in India.
