Answer #1

They ask to many dumb questions and never give you what you want

Answer #2

From most land lines the number is 0. Most cell providers the number is 411. As far as how they work they will ask you the city and state, then the name and possibly address to narrow down multiple results. The annoying thing is alot of them are automated. as far as cost it depends on the provider it could cost anywhere from free to $2 per lookup. if your at home just use whitepages.com it’s free but if your on the go then you can use 411 just be aware there might be some costs associated with it.
