Now that's what I call good business !!

Excellent find


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

Thats very useful to know. And the regional number will help us call from our mobile phones. Head added.

anybody know roughly how long the ad is, 20 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes?

OK, 0800 numbers are free, unlike 0870 numbers, so why call the geographical number, which won't avoid the adverts and will charge you your standard rate?

Because most mobile companies charge you over and above you call allowance for freephone calls. A straight forward landline number comes out of your call allowance.

Because 0800 numbers are charged from mobile phones, whereas anyone witrh anytime minutes can dial the regional number and it will just be taken out the free minutes allowance. Hope this helps.

probably because 0800 numbers from mobiles are not free and do not come off your free minutes. but if u use the geographical number it will come off your free minutes.
