In case anyone's interested, I posted here a while ago that I could no
longer access 195 on Orange.
This turned out not to be entirely true.
I had moved to an iPhone and so Orange put me on an iPhone account. It
was just iPhone on Orange which I believe still won't let you dial 195;
you get an unobtainable tone if you dial it. I tried to get it unblocked
a number of times, was told it would be fine after I rebooted my phone
and an SMS message sent, but it never worked.
I went back to a regular non iPhone phone on my orange account a few
months later and, voila, 195 returned like magic.
I see no reason why Orange can't just sort out the iPhone version of
their account. Part of the issue is that most of the people on the
Orange service desk have no idea that 195 is a directory enquiries for
disabled people and I think they thought I was a bit odd and pushy, or
warped, for wanting to be able to use it.

Clive, I see no reason why a 195 query would not be apppropriate for
this list as it is an access product.

Hello all,
please can someone tell me the right list on which to raise a
point and make a query about the 195 service? I know it's probably OT
here, so no discussion please, just an email off-list.
Thanks,
Clive
