Microsoft’s Free Phone Directory: TellMe

Posted on November 10, 2012 by Jesse Zylstra

A while back, Microsoft released a true answer to the lack of Goog411:
TellMe, powered by Bing.

TellMe is a toll-free number that you can call for free directory search, driving directions, traffic, weather, movies, sports, stock quotes, ‘cheap gas’, horroscopes, news, time, travel, and more. TellMe will connect you to the business you search for in directory for no cost. To try out TellMe just call 1(888) 247-2425 and you will be connected to TellMe. TellMe is voice controlled with the goal of recognizing “natural speech”.

TellMe is very intuitive and easy to use, and a number you should definitely keep in your cellular contact list.

About Jesse Zylstra

Hey! My name is Jesse Zylstra, and I am the administrator of this website. I used to write about free software and programs, online web applications, and new technology -- especially open-source. Now I just write udder nonsense. I also play pipe organ, which I'm told is a fun and interesting fact about me. In the past, I studied network administration. Now I've been trying to pursue a real fake bachelors degree for the last, oh, 10 years or so.
