1-800-555-8355
A colleague informed me of the Tell Me Service, a telephone service he has used to obtain local travel information, as well as news, sports and entertainment information. A friendly computer-generated female voice answers the telephone, "Good afternoon. Welcome to 1-800-555-TELL," and provides all the categories of information. These categories are Stock Quotes, News, Sports, Entertainment, Travel, and Short Cuts. Each of these categories has a menu. For example, the menu under the travel section includes Airlines, Hotels, Rental Cars, Taxi, Weather, Traffic, and Driving Directions. The service will obtain location information and connect the caller free of charge to a taxi service. This service will also connect the caller free of charge to the airline, hotel or rental car of their choice, as well as provide weather, traffic and driving directions. The driving directions were clear and easy to follow.
