Hi all, I work for 1-800-FREE411 and want to clear up these misunderstandings. It appears as though you accidentally opted-in to receive text messages from one of our advertisers – not 1-800-FREE411. As you know, 1-800-FREE411 is an ad supported free directory assistance company. When calling from a mobile phone you are likely hearing a prompt that says, “If you are calling from a mobile phone, press the star key now to receive a text message for more information.” If you do not press the star key you will not receive a text message. All search functions on our system are voice activated so if you do not press any keys you will not be connected with any of our advertisers.
For future reference, the Mobile Marketing Association’s standard opt out phrase to any text message is STOP. That should work for any unwanted text messages. - Laurie
