Hi,
  I'm a new(er) Obi202 owner and I don't see a discussion about configuring a free 411 service to the 202.
   Is this possible like configuring an E911 service to Obi?

Regards,

Terry

Find a service, and then either setup a speed dial to that number, or if you have to have it work when you dial 411, simply copy the setup for 911 which calls an emergency number at a local dispatch center (posted numerous times in these forums) and change the 911 to 411.  Then, when you dial 411 it will dial the number you've programmed.

Or, you can use online directories and your PC / phone.

Hi Terry,

Here is a thread discussing the subject and answering your question:

From the same thread, here is a Great Guide written by Jimates that includes instructions on how to configure your OBi for 411:

Just Dial, 411 with a live person to help find the #. <411:8005000000>

Works for me.

I just tried that number 800-500-0000 and it works ok with the live operator. BTW, the operator is located in India.

Thanks lhm.  I was not familiar with Just Dial until you said so.  I see varying feedback on user satisfaction when I Google "800-500-0000" but if you are getting a real, live person for free... I guess we shouldn't complain. :)

Thanks for that,

That should be OK, as most of the calls I get and make seem to end up there :-)

Maybe that may be a good place to look for work as there are not many jobs here in the gool ole U.S.A. anymore.
