These are the current low cost Directory Enquiry services:

Kingston DQ: 118288 only 27p per call from BT landlines
Telewest DQ: 118770 only 30p per call from BT landlines
CWC DQ: 118099 only 30p per call from BT landlines
Trinity Mirror: 08000-192-190 0p per minute

I have purposely kept the freephone service off these forums, as they do have a habit of disappearing.

Didn't realise you were a mod.

The telephone directory website is quite useful.

Didn't say I was, I have been using the 0800 number since it was first mentioned over on SNT0 and MSE. However this is a very popular site and if Trinity Mirror realise it is getting abused, they like other companies will drop that number.

When people have asked about DQ I have sent them a PM with the details.

Now I find the number useful, would be a shame if it gets taken offline simply because if it being posted around openly.

whats the point of phoning and wasting all that money when you can

www.bt.com

and

www.yell.com

Yes, I use online sometimes, but what is the point when you can call DQ for free?

I know for a fact that the freephone service is going to last for another year and at least 6 months. The freephone service only recieves about 300 calls a months and wouldn't be costing TM much money.

However, it has been noted that half of these calls are being made from payphones and its costing TM an extra 8p to 16p per call. This is because of the payphone access charge.

I have also seen the freephone number advertised in NWP Spectrums phone boxes, so TM are advertising their own FREE directory service in phone boxes and paying NWP to do so. So I don't think posting the number on DS will have much effect compared to TM's method of advertising.

Er.. because a) you can do it for free on the phone, and b) people aren't always in front of a computer, perhaps?
