Any way of removing built-in numbers from Samsung Galaxy Ace?

As above - we bought a Galaxy Ace for our 13 yo son, on a £10 a month contract with Talk Mobile. However a few times he has incurred extra call charges, on closer inspection it's been when he's accidentally called the Directory Enquiries number that is built into his phone - at £2 a call, these quickly mount up! :eek:

Is there any way to delete this number from his contacts? There's no way he needs it, but unfortunately as it's next to "Dad" in his contact list, I worry that he may continue to accidentally call it!

Thanks in advance for any help :)

    If you can't delete it, can you maybe rename it (to XXX)?

    I've just deleted it on mine - tap it in the contacts list so it comes up on screen. Don't hit dial but select the left hand options button below the screen - choose delete and its gone. Well it is so far.
