    AT&T Free Directory Assistance Goes Coast to Coast

    Service Lets iPhone users Call Anywhere in U.S. Get Phone Numbers for
    Free

    You never know when a need will strike -- for a pizza, a plumber, a car
    mechanic or any one of a number of nearby services. Being able to
    locate local listings such as these makes life a little easier. And
    now, AT&T has announced that callers coast to coast can get free
    directory assistance thanks to a new service, AT&T 1-800-YellowPages.

    The service gives iPhone consumers free access to business listings
    while
    providing advertisers the opportunity to reach buyers at a critical
    moment
    in their purchasing decisions.

    IPhone users simply dial 800-YellowPages (800-935-5697) from any area
    code in the United States and then tell the prompt what they're
    looking for
    - a particular business or a type of business within a particular
    city.
    The caller will hear a few short audio advertisements, usually from
    businesses in the category of the requested listing. Then the caller
    will
    get the listing they asked for, and, in many cases, can choose to be
    connected directly to the requested business at no additional charge.

    Nice, trollboi, but there are several ad-supported services that will allow
    non-AT&T users to do this too, like Google's 800-GOOG-411.

    I guess the assholes hyping the iPhone STILL haven't figured out that
    Verizon, Sprint and T-Mo newsgroup readers really don't want to hear about
    the iPhone and AT&T. Even though we've said so. Repeatedly.

    You missed the point, fanboi- this type of service has existed for every US
    cellphone for years. This is yet another one of yout posts that show just
    how far behind the curve the iPhone really is.

    Maybe you don't get it but no one on the VZW group wants your clueless
    fanboi posts.

    You just made yourself look sillier by announcing something that has
    been accessible for years on any carrier wired or wireless. I think I
    found 800-free-411 a few years ago.

    Here. Is a quick iPhone tip, before entering text turn the iPhone
    horizontal. When you open the keyboard it will be
    much larger and easier to use. This text entered using the touch
    keypad.

    Well, if you are now admitting to being 4phun, and you are saying that
    you are not a fanboi and simply telling us of a new service for all
    phones, why is the title of this thread, "Service Lets iPhones Call
    Anywhere in U.S. Get Phone Numbers for Free"? Seems to me that this
    (and every other post by 4phun) has been geared specifically to the
    iPhone.

    That's the problem with sockpuppets- the first time you forget to change
    your name, you get exposed for what you are.
