Callers can now get local information by giving a missed call to the new service, “Free to Dial”, which was launched in the city on Thursday by Deputy Chief Minister Mohd. Mohammed Ali.

He said the service providers had promised to source accurate information on products and services to pass on to people seeking information. S. Sunil Kumar Singh and S.J. Basha, the promoters of the service, said that people need to dial 040–6644 4466 any time.

The call is disconnected immediately and the executives will call back with an enquiry and present the information needed. The service is available round-the-clock.

The service currently offers information in 60 categories and 3,000 sub-categories and it will be further expanded in the next few months. The service will be expanded to Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam and Bangalore in the next six months.
