Service Lets Callers 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 easy-to-use service, which has rolled out to several markets in
2007, is now available from every wireline and mobile phone in the United
States. The service gives consumers free access to business listings while
providing advertisers the opportunity to reach buyers at a critical moment
in their purchasing decisions.

Callers simply dial 1-800-YellowPages (1-800-935-5697) 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.
