Can someone help me find the "information" number for Argentina, if there is such a number? I'm looking for a number similar to 411 in the U.S. (which will ultimately lead me to the phone number of a friend, hopefully). If you have one for Germany, that would be great too. My googling thus far has failed. Thanks!
