Dont get conned by this Not So Free DQ Service from a Mobi.
"Directory enquiries becomes free again today, as long as you are prepared to listen to a 20-second advertising pitch before getting your number.
The launch of 0800 100 100 signals the end of what many have called the rip-off of the 118 system which replaced the old BT 192 service. The new number will not charge callers from landlines, mobiles or cable networks, will be answered by real people rather than machines, and its operators will be based in UK call centres."

They spammed here with their press release with this con regarding free calls from your mobiles, though the con was spotted and the posts deleted.
It seems the Mail just accepted their release and gave them some free advertising.
They want people to use their mobiles to ring them so that they get the numbers and can then send spam texts.0
