It seems that from tomorrow (Monday 4/12/6) 118118 will be offering a free Directory Enquiry service according to The Guardian -

Brilliant.
I can see using this a lot from PayPhones when I am out and about and need a phone number to call. Also to do a Nationwide number search (not allowed for residential phone customers at
www.192.com or
www.bt.com/directoryenquiries) and for customers who have their numbers part withheld from the phone book (not available again in the online DQ services) but are available on request on the voice based service.
I tried calling the number just now but it says that apparently the service only starts on a trial basis from tomorrow 4th December.
