Hi Phil

This is a really grey area, because, as you've doubtless read here before, it 
depends who you get at the time of contact.  If your O2 mobile is a contract, 
ring 202 from your handset and select one of the options that sounds about 
right! (smile.)  If you are on O2 Pay-As-You-Go, ring 4445 from your handset 
and make an equally educated guess. (smile.)

I have never had much luck with registering free Directory Enquiries on a 
mobile, so tend to use the landline for the number I want, then make a note of 
it to use on my mobile if I'm going out.  I know this is perhaps a daft way of 
doing it, but it saves spending money on services from the mobile, and a lot of 
hassle trying to get people to understand what it is I want!

Good luck.

Jackie

  Hi List 

  I know this was discussed a few weeks ago but could someone please tell me 
where to register, if possible for the above service.  

  I visited our local O2 shop on Saturday to register as I thought someone said 
they had done this.  The girl looked at me as though I had asked for a free 
phone or something.  to her credit she rang Customer Services who after a 
little while said what they do offer is the first 45 seconds free then a charge 
of 4p per minute.  

  I think I am right in saying that most of the other mobile providers give 
this service free to blind people who are registered with them.  

  Could someone please point me in the right direction. 

  Phil
