Works only with business listings and google will dial number for you for free. It's free to call from your cell phone and no more getting charged for 411 calls from your cell phone.

My home phone has this built in with its own button.

Off topic a little, but another useful service Google offers is through normal SMS (text messaging). Can get weather, unit conversions, definitions, movie times, sports scores, etc. Just text them ("google" 466453) with what you want like "4 cubic ft to gallons," "weather (zip code or city,st)," "movies (zip code or city,st) and it'll reply back with the answer. I've really grown fond of Google, as I use their SMS services all the time. Here's a link with some of the services they offer through SMS: http://www.google.com/intl/en_us/mobile/default/sms.html

This is such a good feature! I can look up phone numbers to businesses on my Alpine Blackbird gps, but it has it's limitations. And I know first hand calling 411 from your phone can result in expensive charges. I think Google is onto something here, just like when Comcast decided to offer phone service. BTW, i heard a rumor that Comcast is possible going to start up a Cellular phone service as well.
