It refers me to call 611 or 411 to pay their fees. This is anti-competitive!! I just tried it with my American Thieves and Thugs iPhone and it is blocked.

Cingular does not offer any wifi enabled phones for the same reason. They serve themselves, not their customers. That is not surprising to me, they want you to pay their inflated 411 fees instead.

In case any of you didn't know this, Google has a new voice operated directory assistance service. I have been trying to use this from my Cell phone and have been receiving a "Network is busy" instead of getting through. I have been able to call from Work, home, and other non-cingular cell phones just fine. On a whim, I called Cingular's customer service, and they confirmed that they are blocking Googles service. "Google is a competitor, so we have blocked their phone number" This is absolutely rediculous. I can't think of another time that a Phone/Cell company has ticked me off so bad. And people complain about Microsoft's anti-competitive practices! Try it for your self if you have a Cingular cell phone. Google's web page about new service: http://labs.google.com/goog411/ To try this service, just dial 1-800-GOOG-411 (1-800-466-4411) from any phone. I have already written to Google, my senartor and congressman to let them know. Please spread the word! Mike Hello everyone…
