Straight through 118

I'll probably never dial the 118 numbers (Never user 192), but the 118118 advert is bloody good advertising.

Yes and be careful, there was a comparison of costs in the paper this week, 118118 is gonna be more expensive than BT!!! So read the small print carefully, they all have a connection fee+per minute billing.

Unhappy

I have phoned them a few times now in the last two weeks, for cab company's when i was in the middle of nowhere. Not bad, they can put you straight through and they send you a text message with the name and number they put you through to.

On checking my mobile bill, it cost a fecking lot. Probabaly cos its a mobile calling 118 118 got your number. Dont know the land line price though.

118888 IMO is Sh1te... in the last two day I have phoned for 3 numbers and asked to be connected too. Each time they gave me wrong numbers.... I then called up after each to get the right number and get credited for last one which was wrong.
They said I had to ring another customer service number to get a refund. I couldn't be arsed.
