Google connects you directly to the business you are looking for, while 800Free411 does not (it only connects you to one of its advertisers if you happen to be interested in the offer). 2. There are no ads on Goog-411. Google wins again! :) There’s a couple of big difference between 1800Free411 and Goog-411 services:

The Yellow Pages on my desk also has The Yellow Pages - and it's free. I don't usually bring it along with me when I'm traveling, though. Yes, Matt, thank you.

On several occasions I used it to get hotel and restaurant info for towns I was visiting. Great service! jnb:
