Did they connect you ? I think that's the expensive bit.

There was nothing wrong with Directory Enquiries IMHO

So I refuse on principle to line the pockets of these companies and have never used them grrrrr

Yes it is - it was something to do with my Mum, I needed to get hold of the hospital in a hurry while driving. Some networks are even more - one would've charged £12.00!! How the hell can they get away with that!!

I hope you pulled over? Otherwise it could have been more costly, not only financially but in the cost to others too!!!

It's very expensive I agree but in an emergency seven pounds in nothing.

Hope everything was ok.

A few months back, a front page newspaper article told of how 118 were told to pay back something like £240m because of excessive charges to mainly vulnerable people like pensionners.

The main reasons, IIRC, were that a) they did NOT inform people that their charge was some £2.40 per minute (landline) and b)they deliberately kept people hanging on for upto two minutes purely to increase revenue. Grabbing bastards.

Shame there was no jail time for such ptactices.

It was on the end thanks. There needs to be a reasonably priced directory service for mobile users really.
