Free directory assistance available on your cell phone

NEW YORK --

Cell phones have become an essential part of most people's lives, but can be a drain on the pocketbook.

Do you make a lot of directory-assistance calls from your cell phone? Typically, cell providers charge a fee every time you call 411. Instead, you can call 1-800-GOOG-411 (1-800-466-4411) to get the listing you want for free. Another free service, 1-800-FREE-411 requires you to listen to a short ad before you get your number.

Also, drop your long-distance carrier if you make infrequent long-distance calls. Instead, use a prepaid phone card, a dial-around service or your cell phone if you have enough minutes.
