Free 411 Information Services

Free 411 Information services are now becoming available for business or general use.   Some of these services are advertiser supported requiring you to listen to a brief advertisement prior to requesting the telephone number you are looking for.  Others are completely free of ads.

The listings below are some of  the free 411 information providers.  They are broken down into two categories:  Business numbers only  and those that provide both business and residential telephone numbers.  We show if the service is answered by computer or by a real person.

The scoring is bases on our opinion of the service with 10 being the best.
