At the moment the telephone numbers are broken down into the following categories:

Banks
Computing
Electrical
Internet
Supermarkets
Telecom
Travel
Insurance

As the quantity of numbers is growing very fast, I am hoping to add additional categories (and possibly change categories too).

I am open to suggestions, and feel that this thread can be used for people to post their suggestions on this matter.

Thanks again
Daniel

There doesn't seem to be a wildcard that I can find that will work. If anyone has any ideas, please let us know.

The list of 'others' is long now, and at a cursory glance I can see shops like B&Q, Argos, House of Fraser in there as well as DVLA and the like.

Daniel is working on it and was due to get back to me sometime after this last weekend to tell me that

the revised categories are ready & I can go ahead and use them

! I'm working my way thru the main list, correcting, deleting, amending (& generally pfaffing around) so I asked him to get a wiggle on otherwise I will have to repeat work to re-categorise.

No the list of Government dept's on my list above was so long that I just finished with a . . . .

Is it also possible to group the number requests together by categories? Currently you have to browse through 21 pages of topics to see if your particular request has already been covered.

But their aren't many online suppliers only. But Online Suppliers are mail order.
