Well of course. What they mean by free is that Google doesn't charge you anything for the service.

Ya its cheaper than 411, which by the way just went up on the price by a quarter with T-Mobile now ($1.25)

And Sprint SMS, is cheap, cuz it isnt real SMS is it? Doesnt it technically make you connect to internet to check messages, not instant SMS?

Thats crazy, I noticed on my uncles ATT phone MP3 ringtones are like $2.50 while I thought T-Mobiles $1.99 HiFi (Mp3) Ringtones were expensive.
