Running Asterisk or SIP or anything else like that? Here’s the new 411 number you should be using [Solved]

Posted on May 20, 2012 by Percy Kwong

I don’t know about you, but when I set up a PBX, I always set to a 411 service that’s free.  It’s a lot cheaper than using the 411 service from your provider.  I also program it into my mobile phones as well.

I used to use Google’s free 411 search. 800-Goog-411

They discontinued it so I moved on to 800-Bing-411

They’re discontinuing that one as well.  So I’ve moved on to 800-Free-411

It’s basically pretty simple.  If you’re using FreePBX, set up a miscellaneous destination to dial out to 1-800-373-3411  (1-800-FREE-411).

Then set it up so that if anyone calls 411, it routes to the Miscellaneous Destination.

Works like a charm.

It’ll save you an insane amount of money as well.
