How to Get Free Weather Reports Over the Phone

Finding free weather reports when you're away from home can be annoying. Searching for a radio station that has a weather report when you want to hear it can be a difficult task.

Instructions

1. Dial 1-800-555-8355. This will take you to an automated service that is free of charge.

2. Wait until you hear the voice on the other end of the phone say the phrase "main menu."

3. Once the voice says "main menu," say the word "news" into your phone. This will take you to the service's news center.

4. Say the phrase "weather" into your phone. This will take you to the service's weather center.

5. Say the name of your city and state or simply enter your zip code by punching the five-digit number into your phone.

6. Once the weather report has finished, hang up your phone to end the call.

Tips & Warnings

• If you're calling over a cellular phone and calling during your peak hours, your minutes will be used as they would during any normal phone call. However, the phone call itself is a free one.
