  1. Do people really still use 411? The internet makes it really easy to find a phone number for free.

    Yes of course people are still using 4-11 in case, if they are in the middle of the interstates for asking for help.

     

    You can't find every phone number on the internet like your local business doesn't want to make their to public.

     

    Look A Cell phone users will love to take advantage of it. Since it's a free of charge. Compare you are willing to pay up to 2.00 dollars per call.

     

     

    Hey The Repost. It's a very old. It is Last year.

  2. I'm sick of tired our local phone company let us pay a ridicilous price for calling 411. It charge us to up to 0.50-1.50 per call:mad:

     

    The number is 1800-FREE-411

     

    It's has a charge. You got to listed to ads for 12 second :D

    Demofall If you've ever been driving around, trying futilely to find a specific restaurant but refusing to call directory assistance on your cell phone because it's too expensive, the folks at Jingle Networks may have a solution.

     

    Their new free 411 service called, appropriately enough, Free411, is, well, just that. It's designed to give consumers a way to avoid paying the fee wireless carriers charge for 411 access--as much as $3.49.

    Demofall 2005 features short

    product pitches and tall ideas.

     

    Unveiled Wednesday at the Demofall conference in Huntington Beach, Calif., Free411, which can be reached by calling 800-free-411, is an interesting utilization of a free service that requires users to bear with a bit of advertising before getting the goodies.

     

    In this case, the service subjects callers to a 10-second ad before providing the requested number. But the idea is that the ad--which will likely be for a competitor of whoever's number the caller has asked for, and which will usually offer a discount from the competitor--will attract the caller enough to have their call directed to the competitor.

     

    Jingle Networks gets its directory assistance data from the same sources as phone carriers, it says, so regardless of who ends up on the line after a caller requests a number, Jingle insists the number will be accurate. And it argues that ten seconds of advertising is a small price to pay for saving money each time someone wants a phone number.

     

    According to Jingle, 92 percent of the $8 billion the carriers earn annually on directory assistance calls is profit. That's pretty good, when you think about it. But Jingle thinks that if everyone bands together, we can take a big chunk out of that pie. So, as one Demo attendee mused later, it seems like only a matter of time before Jingle is bought up by a carrier and put out of business.

  3. I went to shopping to Rugged Warehouse. I found a lot of bargain prices between as low only 1.99-9.99 dollars.

     

    I bought Champion active t-shirt a stunning for 4.99 plus they didn't include my 25 percent off the retail.

     

    I bought 5 t-shirt how much did I pay for it all. Since I bought some cheap t-shirt as low 2.00 dollars I only pay for a grand total 13-14 dollars :shock: :shock:
