GOOG 411

Google Voice Local Search (aka. GOOG 411, aka. 1-800-GOOG-411) is a 411 or information service for voice calls that you can call from anywhere. It is free (being that it is an 800 number) and completely automated.

The service is very slick when you give it the city and state (or zip code) it will repeat it back to you in a robotic very real sounding human voice. Once it confirms your location, you tell it what you are looking for as the name of the place or the category. For instance, you could search directly for Pizza Hut or for pizza in the area, simply say “pizza”.

The voice is very friendly and accurate and the number is easy to remember, 1-800-GOOG-411.
