My Mobile Smartphone Saved The Day

SHARE WITH OTHERS

This morning I woke up to the light vibration of my mobile phone alarm. I stood tall and as I stretched I thought to myself “Ah what a beautiful day!”  Now, have you ever experienced a time when it didn’t matter what task you took on – everything you attempted to do  just seemed all out of sorts? Well for me, that time was now and I soon realized that the day ahead was not going to be so beautiful. I have my coffee, my briefcase, and my keys now off to work I go. I work at a really busy law firm in the city and my commute is about 40 minutes if I’m lucky. Some days it seems as though the whole province is travelling in the same direction as I am.  Stuck on a slow moving HWY, I think to myself “Gee, why is there so much traffic today?” Then I notice in the distance a car stalled right in the very lane where I am driving. So I slowly begin moving over into the next lane when all of a sudden… A Flat Tire!

Towing Needed!

In the sweltering heat, I had to think fast, so I looked up the nearest roadside service on 411.ca with my mobile phone. Within a few seconds I found Jack’s Roadside Assistance 24/7 service – the listing said “Call Now!” But wait! No link? I know that as soon as I leave the page and start dialing I’ll forget the number. Not sure what I could do with this inconvenient listing, I was forced to abandon my first search result and try again.

Success! I found Abrams Towing and I thought, “perfect they’re not too far away and I can make the call right from 411.ca near me search on my mobile phone”.

Note to self, this site is good.  You can always find towing near you – Find Towing Now

Prepare for the Worst & Hope for the Best

At last, I was back on the road and on my way to work when I get an unexpected call from day camp where I assume my kids are safe and sound for the day. “Good Morning Mrs. Robbins, we’re really sorry to inform you but, we’ve just lost power in the building and the fire marshal has recommended a building inspection. We’re asking that all parents pick up their children immediately!”

Without a moment of thought and already running behind, my boss calls and says that I must schedule a lunch meeting for today. I just knew there was no way I could pick up the kids and be back in the city in time for lunch. So, I grabbed my mobile phone and started a search for Babysitters. Again, I was successful with 411.ca mobile fast & easy search.  Nannie’s 4U Placement Agency helped me find a certified caregiver suitable for my kids and I didn’t have to worry about a thing.

Note to self, this site is great! 

A Series of Events Handled With Ease

Still rushing, I arrive at work and almost lose my arm to the elevator door. Just as the door opens I jump inside and I am greeted by my boss; “Well good morning Mrs. Robbins, glad you could make it to work. Have you scheduled our lunch for today?” Feeling embarrassed I reply, not yet, I’ll schedule the meeting as soon as I get to my desk!  Just then a notification alarm goes off on my mobile phone – It’s my mother-in-laws birthday and I need to send flowers. Following a dozen good morning greetings I sit down at my desk and take a deep breath. I think to myself, “Where can I schedule lunch? And who delivers flowers with same day delivery?

Having already experienced success twice today, my intuition told me that 411.ca‘s clear profile pages on mobile could give me all the info I needed! Without fail, victory! 259 Host Restaurant is a multilevel restaurant with a mouth-watering menu and seemed to be the perfect place for our lunch meeting. Moving on to my mother-in-laws flower delivery, I found Epic Baskets. Epic Baskets provided an incredible arrangement that my mother-in-law won’t soon forget. I even had the ability to write a review about my satisfying experience and I shared my review on social media with 411.ca mobile. Note to self, this site is amazing.

At this point in the day I was feeling exceptionally grateful for my mobile Smartphone and 411.ca fast & easy search solutions – it really helped to make my crazy day run smooth. After my lunch presentation where the ambiance was fitting, the menu was delightful and I was well received, I finished off the rest of the day and headed home to pick up the kids.

Florists and restaurants are easy to find on 411.ca!

Checking In and Telling Others

Enthusiastic about meeting my children’s new caregivers I walked into the child care centre and noticed my youngest boy wasn’t wearing any shoes… Puzzled, I asked the Child Educator Nancy “Where are Cameron’s shoes?” she replied “We’re so sorry Mrs. Robbins, Cameron had left his shoes outside in the field after the lunch break this afternoon and when we realized his shoes were missing we found that they had been run over by the riding lawnmower.”

At this time in the day all the malls were closing and my only real concern was where I could find a shoe store at this hour? So I reach into my purse and grabbed my mobile phone. With 411.ca near me search on mobile, I found The Shoe Company and they were open until 8:00 pm. Upon my arrival at The Shoe Company not only was I relived, I was also excited that I could use 411.ca to check-in to the shoe store at that hour and tell all  my friends on social media what I was up too!

I can tell my friends what’s good in my neighborhood on 411.ca!
