If you call it in your local area, you can request phone numbers. Used in conversation, it means story or information, such as "Give me the 411 on Luke" or tell me about him.

The above posts are correct; 411 will get you information and is used as slang to mean information.
There is a fee to call 411. There is however now a free way to get information. That number is 1-800-FREE-411.

It's the number you dial to get directory assistance, otherwise known as 'calling information'
411 is now a slang term to mean information... like "Do you have the 411?" translates "Do you have the latest information?"
