message: My apologies to the contributors to this article, but as it presently stands, I consider it hideous.  It seems to have a lot of irrelevant information, and doesn't "flow" like an article should.  I can't see salvaging what's already there, but rather starting from scratch.  Let's see if we can amass some references and write a new article from the ground up.
I was a DA operator for five years, and so I have some concept of what directory assistance is about from both sides of the line.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 04:45, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Complete rewrite needed 

message: I'm seeking to find a consensus.
What do others think.  Do providers of free Directory Assistance warrant the possible inclusion in Wikipedia? or should it only be fee based ones? I'm of the view that there is space to contain a short list of some of the free Directory Assistance providers out there that offer competing services.  But it seems others may not see the relevancy of this, so I'm seeking a consensus since this is hitting the WP:3RR.

replies: text: For those going in, the fundamental question is whether the inclusion of a list of free directory assistance telephone numbers is spam or not.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 15:13, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Whoever was responsible for operating the toll-free directory assistance service here in the U.S.A. (Was not AT&T) has thrown in the towel because when you dial 1-800-555-1212 it gives a recording stating "The number you have reached has been disconnected." then the line cuts off. I would like to update this in the toll-free section of this article BUT I don't have any verifiable references other than the disconnection recording. I would appreciate some advice on how to handle this. YborCityJohn (talk) 05:05, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: toll-free means that the one paying is the recipient, even if at a discounted/all-you-can-eat rate. When "The Phone Company" was paid more per call, toll-free directory assistance was to their benefit. Today/2021, you can pay for your "free" info with your time (listening to an ad). 800-free-411 is an example. You can also search via Google. Pi314m (talk) 21:13, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
