googleplex-logoIf you’ve had access to the world wide web for any length of time at all you’ve undoubtedly heard of the search engine giant Google. What you may not be aware of is that Google offers many other free services to the online and offline world.

Today I’m going to introduce you to a free Google service that enables you to not only find the number of any business in any city or state but will also connect you to that business totally hands free. The service is called GOOG411 and can be accessed from any land line or cell phone in the U.S.

Here’s a number well worth programing into your cell phone, or even your home phone’s speed dial for that matter: 1-800-goog411 (1-800-466-4411).

The service is especially useful while driving on the road with no pen, pencil or paper handy. Simply call the number: A voice on the other end says, “City & State.” You tell them” The voice asks, “Business, Name or Type of Service.” again you tell them” The voice says, “Connecting” That’s it.

How easy is that? It works nationwide and again it’s absolutely free!

No more fees from your phone service, and no more manually dialing the number.

Learn more about this free service provided by Google on their GOOG411 Page.

The page features a video explaining the service and how to use it and also gives you the opportunity to guess which GOOG411 team member is the voice behind the GOOG411 service.

Myself I love it, tell us what you think about the service or Google itself.

Simply use the comments below to have your voice heard.
