Dial Directions Delivers First Free Voice-Activated 'Directions' Service For All Cell Phones "Dial Directions today introduced the voice-activated phone service "DIR-ECT-IONS" (347-328-4667), which enables any cell phone user to call and ask for directions to any address or store destination. The free service asks callers for their start and destination and instantly sends driving directions by text message."

"By dialing DIR-ECT-IONS, anybody can turn their cell phone into a 'free GPS'. Now you can get directions anytime by calling and asking -- no downloads, special phone, or web plan." said Amit Desai, cofounder and chief product officer of Dial Directions. "DIR-ECT-IONS opens up location-based services to all cell phone users, the majority of whom want something easier and more available than today's complicated 'smart' phones."

How it Works >P>Any cell phone user can dial DIR-ECT-IONS, which is 347-328-4667, and say where they are and where they'd like to go -- the service understands and texts back turn-by-turn directions. Users can give a specific destination address or intersection ("DirectMe"), or just ask for the closest location of any chain store, like Starbucks or Borders ("NearMe")."
