LOL  :D
I deserved that!
How long does it take an unverified number to appear in the search from the main page?

What is the purpose of this thread?

Firstly, you've said that you can't find an alternative to 0870 6077750, whatever that is (you don't say, and I'm certainly not ringing it to find out).

Then what's it with the question about how long it takes to verify a number?  :-?

There is a verified number for "School Link", perhaps this is what you are after.

Please take some time to read the instructions for posting a request before making another one.

If no more useful posts are made on this thread I shall delete it because it contains no useful information.

The subject was "School Link", is that too difficult?
I guess you'll delete this message too then.
Oh the power!
When I searched both for School Link and using the number, there was no returned answer. So, either your search engine is poo, or you added it very recently.
Right, that proves it. I still have the unverified list saved on my PC, and School Link is in it. But it isn't in this list today.
If you're the only moderator then you are very confused or angry. If there are multiple moderators, then one of your fellows has verified the number and moved it. You lot should talk!
And you should appologise. But you won't.

And that is my point. You have posted this message for some help in finding a number.

With that I have no idea what School Link is because there is no reference to it in the OP (apart from the 0870 number). That does not mean that I am unable to help you find what you're looking for.

That's where a postal address, website address and even the purpose of the company come in useful.

A quote from the instructions:

Quote:

Who? What? Where? Why?    * Who is the company?    * What is the nature of your call? Customer services, complaints, new business etc.    * Where is the company based? A full address is always useful.    * Why do you want to contact them? Please answer as many of these questions as possible

Indeed, and I'm sorry I did not post any further information.
Your posting rules stated that the subject should be the name of the organisation, and that the body of the message should contain as much info as possible. At that time, I only had the name and number.
I must be stupid, but why do you need to know why I need to contact them?

You've yet to explain how this number did not appear in my search on Monday night, but only appeared in the unverified list. But when you panned me for not looking properly the situation is reversed.
So my question remains, how long does it take for an unverified number to become verified? Although I don't particularly care about the answer any more.

And your site has helped. I use it regularly. And I have found a geog. alternative number.

How do you think that alternative numbers are found? With requests that provide little information, it is as though the requestor thinks that there is a magical spell that we cast to find them. It's pure detective work.

As for the why bit, I wrote that because people just ask for an alternative number to an 0870 and give us no clues as to what it was and why they wanted to contact them. For example, there has been a spate of missed calls from these numbers, and by only giving the 0870 and not stating that the number was obtained via a missed call, the requestor is leaving it up to those on here who help out to find that information out. It's a bit like the requestor is making this a guessing game, where they hold information which they have not disclosed which may help to find the number. Of the "Who? What? Where? Why?" all may not be applicable.

Your request didn't say what "School Link" is. To find an alternative, a someone will have to find this information out, information which you hold.

This question has been asked here.

It's a bit like asking how long's a piece of string really. There are that many entries in the unverified database that they are not verified in any particular order. Numbers may be verified after a request, such as yours. I presume that this is what happened here and why the number now appears in the verified.

How come you are now GraemeP2?
