The new 118 numbers introduced in the UK are a mess!
Their critics say they are useless, give wrong numbers, charge extortionately for connection and only slightly less so for giving a number.
One of the first analyses performed with the Phone Analyser showed that the average cost was way over 50 pence and the average cost of a local call at peak time was somewhere short of 5!
So 'Phone a Friend' instead! Or ten friends! At least when you think they will know the number of have the relevant paper phone book!
Remember too that the program can also display a phone book, which shows all the numbers you have added.
In the UK you can also use BT's on-line directory enquiries at www.118500.com. Note that this service enables you to search on a very much wider basis than through an operator!
