Service Offers U.S. Consumers Free, Personalized Directory Assistance and Category Search

NEW YORK, May 26 /PRNewswire/ -- 1-800-Justdial announced today the launch of its free, personalized directory assistance and category search services in the United States. Consumers can now dial 1-800-Justdial (1-800-587-8342) from anywhere in the country to obtain business listings and conduct category searches.

"Increasingly, search is shifting to mobile," said Justdial Founder and CEO V S S Mani. "Justdial is a free one-call solution for any local search need consumers can think of. Callers get access to live, courteous and personalized assistance, enabling them to find exactly what they need in less than one minute. It also really eliminates the need for the billions of calls U.S. consumers make each year to paid directory assistance."

Justdial operators are available 24 hours a day and always provide one ring pickup service, enabling users to speak to a live person and obtain fast local search results or recommendations for nearby restaurants, movies, events, florists, plumbers, dentists, car rentals, or almost any other product or service under the sun.

Justdial offers more than simple local business search, making it quick and easy for people at home, at work, or on-the-go to receive information like listings and local recommendations, or even nearby hotels in a certain price range. Callers simply dial 1-800-Justdial (1-800-587-8342), reach a live operator that picks up within one ring and state what listing or category of product or service they are looking for by neighborhood, zip code or even intersection. Justdial sends callers relevant listings via e-mail or text message and also connects callers to the listing of their choice, all free of charge. Users can register their phone number and address for maximum speed and personalization when using Justdial, enabling the operator to recognize the user and provide recommendations and listings near their home, work, or any other registered address or location.

Justdial was founded in 1994 in India, where last year the service handled 72 million calls. The company is backed by top investors including Sequoia Capital, Tiger Venture and SAIF, which have invested over $46 million to date.
