Alex,

this sounds very strange to me.  I thought that each blind individual
would register as a 195 user, and  would be given a pin number. When you
ring 195 you are asked to quote it, together with your name. If the two
match you would then be able to use the service, wherever you are and
regardless of what phone you're using.  So the process is identical for
me whether I'm asking for a number on my home landline, my work phone,
my mobile, a call box or my dad's phone.  I don't know why you would
then need a card, and had never heard of one. Have I missed something.
Incidentally at work, the telephone system is set
So that you dial hash six before the 195. So, once again, no need for a
card just because I work here.
  Best,
Clive

Subject: [access-uk] a question regarding the 195 directory enquiries
service

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone can advise me regarding the best way to resolve the
following issue.

My wife Carol was given a card for the 195 directory enquiries service
when she was studying at Queen Alexandra College in Harborne in 1992.  I
wasn't studying there at the time, but Carol informs me that all the
cards were linked to the number used at the time for the college
switchboard, and although Carol does remember occasionally using her
Directory Enquiry card when she was at college, she has not used it
since, as she believes that the cards have to be linked to a particular
number, I.E., the owner of the card has to own or have the use of their
own landline telephone.


What I'm wondering really, is which bit of BT should I speak to on
Carol's behalf to enable us to either arrange for a new card, or inform
BT that Carol's circumstances have changed and in view of this can she
update the details linked to her old Directory enquiry card so that she
can use it again.

Thank you in advance for any replies.
