Anyone Know if This is a Hoax or if It Works?

Just leave it up to Google to come up with something like this!!!

Here's a number worth putting in your cell phone, or your home phone speed dial: 1-800-goog411. This is an awesome service from Google, and it's free -- great when you are on the road.

Don't waste your money on information calls and don't waste your time manually dialing the number. I am driving along in my car and I need to call the golf course and I don't know the number. I hit the speed dial for information that I have programmed.

The voice at the other end says, "City & State." I say, " Garland , Texas ." He says, "Business Name or Type of Service." I say, "Firewheel Golf Course." He says, "Connecting" and Firewheel answers the phone. How great is that? This is nationwide and it is absolutely free.

I haven't heard of that but I could see it working.

I know if you send:

"City, State Business Name" in a text to google (466453) they will return the information for you.

I've had it in my phone book now for about 6 months. It works greak. It also will text the info to your phone. It's great.

It works. The reason they're doing it is so they can have a ton of voice recordings in order to perfect their voice recognition software.

True story.
