    The guys with the beards and run about shouting it work for them but you can buy the t shirts from charity shops.

    I think they are in aid of cancer research or something.

    But after the hype its all about 118 800

    118 800 calls are 19p per minute, with a minimum charge of 19p, and you get unlimited searches.
    This is the cheapest directory enquiry service in the UK, even cheaper than 118 118.

    I've heard they take ages to get your number and have been giving out wrong numbers etc.

    118-118 is a pile of shite imo. i've tried them a few times and they've been a absolute toss!

    Wheneva i've phoned its been an indian/pakistani accent. Now i'm not racist at all but don't u think that if people are answering questions about places in the uk, they should at least know where these places are?!!!! I've heard stories of people phonin in and the operators don't have a clue where the place is that the people are on about. One person wanted a number in edinburgh and they were asked if that was near London!!!

    The thing that pissed me off tho was that they say, "I have that number here for you now" then turn round and say, "sorry but that number is ex-directory." Excuse me, but you obviously haven't got that number there for me then have u? u've got it but its not for me!!!!!! Fuckin numpties gettin paid 20p an hour.

    anyway i can use 118888 cheap as its by vodafone!

    coz from work we just dial #6 192 and that used to get us thru to 192 but now goes thru to 118-118. think i'll miss off all the hassle and just phone 118888 from me mobile in future.
