GOOG-411 LOOKUP
Google has a lookup system for cellphones (I suppose any phone) ... for business lookups. Just call 1 800 466-4411 -- So, when you get connected, say to the prompt for WHICH CITY, " -- ie Shoreview, Minnesota. Then for the WHICH BUSINESS prompt: ie Radford Video Creations." It will then connect you, or you can say "Text Message" and it will send the details of the address and phone to your SMS messaging system on your cellphone as a permanent written copy. This is good stuff ... FREE and FAST. Too bad it's not for residential too. You can find this all on the web at www.google.com/mobile/goog411/index.html

While Google does a good job of recognizing your request, there are times when a live operator is the way to go. There are many free directory assistance services out there, but I prefer the ones that use real people and offer business, people, and government searches.
I use 800-411-SAVE because I don't have to deal with computers that don't understand what I want.
When it comes to free directory assistance (aka, “411” or “information”), you have LOTS of choices. They differ in some important ways, so don't call just one or two - try them all out and see which one(s) you prefer – you may just end up with more than one in your phone directory. Also, with this many companies trying to get our search attention, you may want to try them all again every so often just to see what's new! Grin!
I prefer the ones that have operators to help when the automation doesn't recognize me, that get me accurate information fast, and that also don't restrict me to only business searches - sometimes I need to find people, too!
