I'm not sure about that, as if so there would be no point in them having a freephone number, and no point in them commenting that it was free from a landline but not necessarily from a mobile

Not quite sure of your point, but the service on the web at https://www.118.com is definitely free !

The number is 0800 118 3733.

You have to register in advance and according to their registration page here, they appear to pass your details on to whomever they like:-

.

The registration page is for an alert to when the service starts. It has already started and I have just used them with no registration whatsoever. Just dial and off you go............... AGAIN, NO NEED FOR REGISTRATION AT ALL.

There is a truly FREE DQ service available to both landline and mobile customers where you actually speak to a person to get your number! You have a to listen to a few seconds of advertising of course!

To call from a landline, dial: 0800 100 100
To call from a mobile, dial: 01635 774 800

Of course it is only free from a mobile if you have inclusive minutes!
