Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / ATT Wireless / December 2007Service Lets iPhones Call Anywhere in U.S. Get Phone Numbers for Free
AT&T Free Directory Assistance Goes Coast to Coast Service Lets iPhone users Call Anywhere in U.S. Get Phone Numbers for Free You never know when a need will strike -- for a pizza, a plumber, a car mechanic or any one of a number of nearby services. Being able to locate local listings such as these makes life a little easier. And now, AT&T has announced that callers coast to coast can get free directory assistance thanks to a new service, AT&T 1-800-YellowPages. The service gives iPhone consumers free access to business listings while providing advertisers the opportunity to reach buyers at a critical moment in their purchasing decisions. IPhone users simply dial 800-YellowPages (800-935-5697) from any area code in the United States and then tell the prompt what they're looking for - a particular business or a type of business within a particular city. The caller will hear a few short audio advertisements, usually from businesses in the category of the requested listing. Then the caller will get the listing they asked for, and, in many cases, can choose to be connected directly to the requested business at no additional charge. Source: AT&T press release ["Followup-To:" header set to alt.cellular.verizon.] > AT&T Free Directory Assistance Goes Coast to Coast Nice, trollboi, but there are several ad-supported services that will allow non-AT&T users to do this too, like Google's 800-GOOG-411. I guess the a.sholes hyping the iPhone STILL haven't figured out that Verizon, Sprint and T-Mo newsgroup readers really don't want to hear about the iPhone and AT&T. Even though we've said so.

Not just the iphone. I don't or will not ever own a iphone. >>> "4phun" <vic.healey@gmail.com> wrote in message >>> news:89021607-a2a5-48ce-90a7-8370ed52401a@f52g2000hsa.googlegroups.co [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] > can be used with phone.

Well, if you are now admitting to being 4phun, and you are saying that you are not a fanboi and simply telling us of a new service for all phones, why is the title of this thread, "Service Lets iPhones Call Anywhere in U.S. Get Phone Numbers for Free"? Seems to me that this (and every other post by 4phun) has been geared specifically to the iPhone. That's the problem with sockpuppets- the first time you forget to change your name, you get exposed for what you are. >>>> "4phun" <vic.healey@gmail.com> wrote in message >>>> news:89021607-a2a5-48ce-90a7- [quoted text clipped - 53 lines] > That's the problem with sockpuppets- the first time you forget to change > your name, you get exposed for what you are. Dude, your so lost I won't even try. As Oxturd would say. Thanks for playing. > AT&T Free Directory Assistance Goes Coast to Coast > > Service Lets iPhone users Call Anywhere in U.S. Get Phone Numbers for > Free Maybe you don't get it but no one on the VZW group wants your clueless fanboi posts. You just made yourself look sillier by announcing something that has been accessible for years on any carrier wired or wireless. I think I found 800-free-411 a few years ago. > AT&T Free Directory Assistance Goes Coast to Coast > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > Source: AT&T press relea Here.

How does all that work laying down so you can type on it?? Just curious....(c; Do you have to hold it up with one hand and punch the little buttons with a finger on the other??

I can call them, listen to ads, and get connected? How is this better than what I do now: 1. Go to the Google Maps application on the iPhone, which I generally leave on the map of the city I'm in. 2. Type the category I'm looking for. The results appear on the map as pushpins. 3. I pick one I want to call, tap it, and it shows me the phone number. Another tap, and the call is placed. No ads, and I have the business on the map, too, making it easy to go there. Signature--Tim Smith |
