Yeah OMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...as for the santimonious Pauld...do us a favour and get stuffed mate!!! Rubbish isn't what we want to here, just a clear apology to OMY.

He/she stated his/her case clearly and deserves the apology from the orignial perpetrator who decided on his own behalf to not only alter, but to modifiy his tracks thus covering up his oiriginal sin!!!! Which I might add the other moderator has since admitted!

I agree with the notion of getting on with battling the conglamerates and not  amongst us!!!But at the same time if you ain't got nothing to say intelligent then please shut up!! ENOUGH SAID!!!

OMY has/had a valid point which should be addressed properly and until then this sight remains sceptical at most!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Amen!

How long to verify a number??????????...by the time any one reads this thread about as long as a piece of string! Apologies sought, apologies missed...some cretins adding their own insight and some intelligent people adding theirs!!

Time to get back to the scheme of thing before people start to really get nasty on this thread okay? I proppose some sort of truce..at least for the time being...okay girls& guys!!!??

No matter what our differences we are ALL her to save some dosh at the end of the day without petty  differences interfering. Wee or Noi??? Set your differences aside and look at the savings we have ALL made..then be happy! OK?

Point taken and many apologies to anyone I may have upset. Oh and by the way as I am retired and have been for the past 17 years that hardly qualifies me as an employee of any of those 0870 companies...LOL.

omy,

I think what you have been subjected to is quite inexcusable and your original query was more than justified given the huge logjam in numbers getting verified quickly.  Also the lead time is a lot more than 2 or 3 weeks in my opinion.  Its really more like 2 or 3 months.

The problem is that the two Daves and Daniel want to keep this site as their baby and are jealous of letting anyone else in through the front door to help them.

There are lots of us willing to help but do they organise a get together in a pub to get to know the other main site supporters, or do they encourage those who have posted the most here in the forum to join them in the number checking process.  No they do not.

So then they feel they are martyrs and that no one else's views are as valuable as their own.

What they really need to do is to get commerical sponsorship from someone like 1899 or 18866 to start paying a person or two to verify these numbers on a more commercial basis.  Obviously the more geographic numbers this site has the more people will use 1899 and 18866 and the more their business will grow.

But the owner of this site hardly ever makes a post now and the two Daves just seem to do more or less as they please although its only really one of the two Daves who seems to have the big chip on his shoulder.

Dave,

My previous post was possibly a little in haste having belatedly seen the very unfair way omy was treated while ago by the other Dave.  It is rather unfortunate that you and he share the same first name as it makes it rather difficult for the rest of us to remember which of you is which?  Have you ever considered adopting a forum pseudonym to make life easier.  I believe it happens a lot in the telesales world.

Also on checking the unverified numbers section today I was a little annoyed to see my TopUpTv entry merely deleted since that number has now also gone from Directory Enquiries and I didn't keep a copy for myself.   I was told that adding it to Verified section might be difficult but I don't see why as long as it had been listed as the marketing, finance and management office of TopUpTv and not the customer service centre?

You Say Daniel asked you and the other two Daves to help out but he doesn't now seem to ask anyone else to do so or participate much in the forum himself.

A social get together has to be the answer as then he would get to meet the other regulars and size them up and see if they were likely to be of any use to the forum.

I would presume that you and the other Dave knew Daniel previously outside of the forum/website which is why he asked you to get involved?  It seems rather a shame that other keen forum members tend to find it rather difficult to become equally involved.

You mean you don't know.

I know Dave & DaveM obviously put a lot of work into this site in their own time, and must have limited time available - And

many thanks

to them for all the time they obviously do spend on this.

Nevertheless, it would be helpful to have some understanding of how / when numbers are verified / moved / deleted / etc..

Two different people (Foxy & nkitson - sorry, haven't worked out how to link to individual messages) have today raised similar issues, and rather than just move Foxy's post to another thread posing related unanswered questions, it would be helpful to see some kind of response, PLEASE.

Otherwise, people get discouraged from contributing and/or people's time is wasted trying numbers known to be no longer in use, etc..
