Hi Jackie, I had to call Vodafone to arrange to have my number set up to work with 195. As far as I am aware it's free. I haven't been charged so far.

I've asked Vodafone about it, and they don't seem to know anything about 195 Free Directory Enquiries, so I just don't bother. If I were in a situation where I had to get a number on the mobile, I'd have to investigate it further then. From what I've heard and been told by friends who use it on various networks, none of this Directory Enquiries business is clear-cut is it?
