    Google hangs up on their FREE 411 service.

    Well, we do a lot of Unified Communications installs.  We have been configuring a redirect for our customers for several years to save them money on 411 calls to the Free Google service.  That is the kind of thing we like to do for our clients, save them money…   Well, this will create a bit of work for us to redirect them back to the pay for service from their respective carriers.  411 services are now priced around $1.50 to $2.00 per call so we will have to research something else to do.
