'Just call 0800 100 100 from a land line and ask for a number. you have to listen to an advert about some weird and wonderful thing and then they give you your number. Damn site cheaper than 118 118 and 192.'

Think its time for a change to the 'heinz programme' ;-)

    Here's your ludicrously simple step-by-step guide to the service.
    1. You call us free on 0800 100 100
    2. One of our lovely operators in our UK call centres takes the call. This trained operator will then search for your required number
    3. You then listen to a short ad
    4. The number is now read out (This bit's automated)
    5. If you're on your mobile, a text message is then sent to you with your requested number. An offer from one of our advertisers accompanies this - so you can take up this offer at another time
    6. Should you want to take up the offer while you're on the phone, press "1" or simply stay on the line.
      You'll also get an option to hear your number again
