118 118 calls cost about 98p assuming they last for less than one minute (69p fixed + 29p per minute), they are now the biggest directory enquiry service by use of heavy expensive television advertising.

They also have the number 118 811 which is considerably cheaper at 40p fixed .

I suggest you use one of the following (if indeed you need to use any)

0800 100 100 - free and financed by 20 second advert

118 226 costing about 23.5p fixed

If you use none BT telephone services, then 118118 is sometimes even dearer!

These prices are frequently changing so I believe all the above is reasonably accurate.

They should bring back 192 all these idiots capitalising on it is stupid.. Shame google dont do this over uk.. Goto google and type in the search bar phonebook: name of somebody and what you get

Suppose the cost of calling 118 118 will be expensive so they can pay for them stupid adverts they keep makeing.

if there something strange, in the neighbourhood, who yer gonna call.
