Tellme is a great free phone service that can be used from any phone with no charge. Simply dial 1-800-555-5388 (800-555-TELL) and you'll be connected with a voice-activated system that allows you to do a great deal of helpful actions that would normally require a computer. Say you're driving somewhere and you're lost - just call, read off the address you're at and the address you're trying to get to - directions will be given step by step. Maybe you're going to the beach and stuck in traffic, and you want to make sure it's worth the wait - just say weather and you can find out if there's storm clouds rolling in. There are even stock quotes and business news for those who need financial information on the go.

I use Tellme often, and it's a lot of fun when you're bored or waiting on someone - "Blackjack" will let you play 21 card with a Sean Connery sound-alike or a hillbilly farmer to pass the time. If you're more into the mystical, you can catch up on your horoscopes for the day to find out if it's a good time to start that new project. If you're hanging out with friends and want to catch the newest summer blockbuster, you can even check movie times. Be sure to put this awesome number in your speed dial - it's like having a personal assistant.
