I have been caught in an emergency before and I called my host WebAir for help !

I am not joking. They went well beyond there normal hosting service to help me out when I needed them that had nothing to do with hosting.

I am not saying they would do that for everyone. I do have a big hosting package with them.

That's pretty cool.... But who will remember to dial 1-800-goog411 (11 digits) instead of just 411 (3 digits).

And yes, I'm just THAT lazy.

Quick Search Box Widget for Android phones is an even better option.

I always thought directory assistance was 1-area code-555-1212
What is 411?

LOL. I used to be a directory assistance telephone operator for Pacific Bell once.

411 or 555-1212 brings you to local directory assistance in the area code your calling from. Toss up the area code in front of 555-1212 (such as 623-555-1212) and you get directory assistance in that area code.
