Recently, I used the toll-free Justdial service. I called up 1800-500-0000, and my queries were answered within 60 seconds by a real person! They also connected me to the vendor I was looking for. I truly think Justdial is one step ahead of 1800GOOG services.

Google 411 was shut down last October.

They searched and found every phone number in the world, so they figured they were done... :279- :208- :208-

From what I've read, too, the purpose of Google 411 wasn't to provide a (great) service to the public -- it was to capture thousands of different voices, dialects, accents, etc. and be able to refine their voice recognition software for use in other applications.  They shut it down once they had gathered enough data (ie. enough people speaking into the computer and confirming or denying that they were understood correctly by the computer).  Pretty ingenious.
