Hi,

Judt a reminder that OneTel customers get free UK directory enquiries on 118 111.

Cheers

Dave

Thanks for the warning I could have missed it and ended up paying.

Time to start dusting off that Mirror group 0800 number for directory enquiries (presumably only intended for their journalists I imagine though?)

I would omit 18866 when dialling the 0800 directory enquiries number in the daytime as otherwise your call will not be connected.

Thanks for that. I have a contract ornage phone as well, so will now ensure this number is "to-hand". Again thanks.

The above is also known as www.bt.com/directoryenquiries

But I find that www.192.com offers a far better service as you can search by county as well as town or nationwide.  bt.com/directoryenquiries only lets you search by town, not much use if you are trying to find the uk headquarters of a company.

At 192.com you can also check recent property transactions in that postcode and even look up people who are ex-directory via their electoral register entry.

Well bully for you.

I really don't see the point of this when given who you are and your job people will know exactly where you live for other reasons.  Indeed your address will be available on another public website I imagine although that doesn't seem to be compulsory countrywide.

Also if you register with http://www.mpsonline.org.uk this prevents anyone sending you junk mail using your electoral register.

The only reason to not be on the publicly available electoral register is if you are a criminal evading justice, a father attempting to evade the Child Support Agency, or possibly someone who has given evidence at a trial whi is now part of our equivalent of the witness protection program.

Since you will have access to the full register isn't it a bit hypocritical for you to be left out of the publicly available register? Surely you should be setting a good example on something like this?
