    Ah.

    The problem is (as people seem to forget) that whilst you may be perfectly aware that it was your baby who dialled the number, the phone company do not know this: it would be an easy way for people to get out of paying bills. Unfortunately, I reckon it would probably be a "no" to wiping the charges, but the network may at least meet you halfway if they are nice enough to check through your past bills and see it's a one off.
    I accept no liability if you chose to rely on my advice.

    Also in your favour, I guess, is the likelihood of wanting to use international directory enquiries for an hour (esp. compared to your usual usage patterns)!

    i would have asuumed that after calling presumable 3 international directory enquires on having no one speak to them on the phone they would have terminated the call. Are you sure thats the only call thats beena accidently called. Best of luck by the way and am sure they will sympathise and hope common sense prevails.
