Has anyone else tried this out with their cel phone? My son turned me onto it instead of dialing 411; it’ll do reverse number lookup too. When you receive the phone # you requested, press send and it will give you options as to call or save the #. I had no idea there was more to it. Pretty cool! For phone numbers, text the name, city (street if you know it to narrow it down) and state to 466453 (GOOGLE)

I use this all the time. It works fine, you have to type in the information correctly tho. For instance, I was looking for an italian restaurant, i mistyped one letter and instead of giving alternate suggestions like the google website, it just came back with no results. Otherwise, works pretty good.
 
I like the goog 411, its free and almost as good as google. Sure i cant look stuff up like "what gear oil do i need" but using purely voice commands I can find he closest kragen/napa and ask them over the phone. Sitting and yelling at the phone is possibly even easier than going to the computer.
