Calling 411 from either your home phone or cell phone will hit you with additional charges from your carrier.

Charges on wireless carriers for 411 calls range from $1.49 for Verizon, up to $1.75 for ATT wireless. And your home phone charges you as well. That's per call, so those charges add up very quickly.
