In reference to Martins latest email:

New Cheapest 118 Number 118226 is 23.5p/call; or do it free online or via your mobile's WAP

The only service Martin suggests is: BT’s Free WAP Directory Enquiries Service

But what about Yellow pages?

There is a great free service at http://www.yell.com/mobile/

Cheers, Matt
