|
|
|
|
|
Q:
|
Is CallSpark a search engine?

|
|
Q:
|
Why is CallSpark better than 411?
|
|
A:
|
With 411, you have to dial, wait for an operator, write down the phone number (if they even have a locatable number), and then either pay to be connected or hang up and make a whole new phone call. And 411 costs every time you use it. We knew there had to be a better way, and CallSpark is the answer. With CallSpark, you just type in the person's name or a keyword or the category of a business. CallSpark pulls in the information from your social and business cloud, determines your GPS location, and provides you contact info to connect for free in an instant. You select the right target, and that's it.
