I was away from home and needed to call a glass company to see if my
storm windows were repaired and ready for me to pick up. Thats when I
realized that I had not put their phone number in my contact list. The
glass company was 20 miles away, so I did not want to waste a trip to go
there.
On a home phone (landline), I'd either use my phonebook, or call
"Directory Assistance", or go on the internet and look it up.
But I was not home, so there's no phonebook in my car (maybe I should
put one in there). And my cellphone is just a flip phone, (no internet).
I tried to call 411 and got some error message.
I finally went to a gas station and used their phonebook to get the
number for that company.
Anyhow, is there a special number to use to get "Directory Assistance"
on a Cellphone?
My phone is a pre-paid Tracfone (if that matters).
I'm still trying to learn all the tricks to using these cellphones....
Seems the "kids" under 30 are the "experts" at using them. Not us old
guys. We're just experts at using rotary dial phones, (and the "kids"
dont know what those are, or how to use a phonograph).


Program in the number for Chamber of Commerce and call them when you need a phone number or information. Every time I call they act so happy to have something to do it's like they were just waiting for someone to call.


Do you know the number for Bum****, AZ? The OP doesn't either, that's why he
posed the question.
