Tip for Saving on Phone Bills -- Free Directory Assistance
The next time you need a phone number and the book's not handy, try calling 1-800-FREE411 for free directory assistance. You might have to hear an short ad along the way, but that's worth the $1-$3.50 your phone company now charges for this service. And if things work properly at 1-800-FREE411, the ads will alert you to your query's competitors -- a great start for comparison shopping!

At least in my area, SBC residential customers get 2 (I think) free directory assistance calls per billing cycle.
