I'm suprised there was only one response to this (and i don't have wap !) ......with everyone having a mobile these days and directory enquiries being used millions of times a week... and the high cost of directory enquiries being such a big discussion point on landlines ... .... can nobody help ??????????

If you have O2 inclusive minutes you can call the Free DQ service 0800 0192 190.Mentioned on this site a number of times in the poast.

If your calling it from a network that charges for calls to 0800 numbers or from a Paygphone. You can normally use one of the little known https://www.pre-dial.com 020 access numbers that allow you to call 0800/0808 numbers.These are 0200 222 0700/0900. Some networks bar them!

Please dont ask the operator if the call is free.It is, or it will be just the cost of a 020 call using pre-dial method.

If people keep asking them is it free they might well pull it.

pricefighter ... have just rung the 0800 0192 190 from my sons' o2 .....

and it said " this is not a free call from this mobile"

That's the difference between free and from inclusive minutes. O2 would also tell you to redial omitting the initial 0.

Calls to 0844/ 0845/0870/0800/0808 are normally included in O2,s cross network minutes.Whether its a Contract or Payg phone.

If he has only got own network minutes and 01/02 numbers use the 0200 dial through access number.

If he is on basic payg no x-net minutes it will be chargeable.But if you use the dial through access code it will be only charged at 25p/5p a minute much cheaper then expensive dq service.

he's on o2 anytime anynetwork tariff . .. never goes over his inclusive minutes.

i know that 0870 do not get charged for him .

what should be the score ...what should we do ref this 0800 number ?

I realise this is an older thread, but if anyone is still looking for info, O2 Directory Enq service is 118402 at 60ppm, whereas O2 will charge you £1.50pm to call other 118 services including 118500 and 118118.
