Google: "phone search" Read various options. I use Yahoo or Google for all local information. I have never dialed 1411 and don't know where I put the paper phone directory. As people shift to VOIP and web service over cell phones, I see no future for such a service. Sorry.

I agree with sevans. Yahoo and Google are both very effective at finding telephone numbers you want. Sometimes even numbers that are unlisted in the phone book and through 411.

There *is* a segment of the market that dials 411 many times a month and for good reason. Typically, these are travelling sales people that manage their contact activity between face-to-face meetings. They typically spend 4 to 6 hours a day behind the wheel with hands-free cell connectivity. I suspect this target audience is easy to reach and probably spend alot of cash on 411 services.
