The directory assistance technicians can search for the type of business that you're looking for just in case you don't know the exact name. This will be done once you provide them with the type of industry.
  
  Mention the city and state that you want to search. When asked to give a citation, just say, "Category search." You will be transferred to a customer service representative to complete your request.
  
  
• 2). To find a specific address, dial 411 and wait for the recording. Provide the city and state as requested by the recording. Once it prompts you for a listing, say "Address" and then you will be transferred to a live operator to finish the rest of your request.
  
  
• 3). For a reverse number search, dial 411 and wait for the operator to answer.
  
  If you want to know the name of the business that you're looking for that is associated with a telephone number that you have, say, "reverse number search" when the system asks you for the city and state. You will be transferred to a customer service representative who will help you complete your request.
