Hi

Apologies if this has been posted somewhere before, but i've come across a free directory enquiries number: 08000 192 190 and yes it works!!!!! (i tried it from my BT landline)
note: only free from landlines, some mobile operators may charge for 0800 calls

Toodleloo!

    What is there success rate with regards to finding a number or are the like other 118 operators. I suppose even if they are not very good you ain't paying for the call.

    Also another option is UKPhonebook.com. Although you do have to register with the site.
    Examine what is said, not him who speaks.

    I wasn't able to find much info about 118190. Which company operate it or is it a general DQ service that is used by several DQ operators?

    Their - possessive pronoun (owned by them e.g. "They locked their car").
    They're - colloquial/abbreviated version of 'They are'
    There - noun (location other than here e.g. "You can buy groceries there") OR adverb (in or at that place e.g. "They have lived there for years") OR adverb (to or towards that place e.g. "Go there at noon") OR adverb (in that matter e.g. " I agree with you there").

    Sorry, I should have been more clear. I know they answer Trinity Mirror but I couldn't find much info on 118190 when I did a google search.

    Was there not a website that listed all DQ operators on because I can't seem to find that now either?

    Thanks.

    That makes 118 190 being Telewest but the freephone answer Trinity Mirror. I therefore assume that t'west operate this on behalf of Trinity Mirror.

    The only reason i knew it was 118190 was cos one of there operators told me.Its also a UK only dq service,not an intl one as indicated against this dq code if you look it up.
