It depends. TellMe, 800-555-Tell, was originally owned by AT&T, and
still may be after all the mergers. AT&T Wireless phones used TellMe
for 411.

Here in my area, I live fifteen minutes away from a huge Verizon call
center that handles both wireline and wireless directory assistance
calls. They handle VZW phones and also contract out to other
carrieers.
