Hi,
Note, I have changed the subjectt line!
I think that when you ring the 196 number you get straight through!
Yes indeed you will need to answer a few questions establishing that you are
registered!
Unless you have money to burn then don't agree for them to put you through to
your requested enquired for number or it will cost you "an arm and a leg"!
In all fairness they don't ask normally there but it could happen as they
answer "normal" calls also as far as I know.
Now Flor, a crackin game tonight with Cork and Limerick!
We'll be back!
Cheers,
Tony

Not Tony, but when you ring 196 you are on to Directory Enquiries. This
is a general service, and you would be charged if you make a request for
assistance there. Instead, you ask the operator for Special Enquiry
Services. When you are put through, and you supply the requested
information, they look up a database to see if you are registered etc.
O2 and Vodafone are in the list of providers who are accepting the
free-to-end-user status of the said Special Enquiry Services.

Flor,
The good news is indeed spreading re FDE on our mobiles now!
Yes I get through on other mobile phones no prob!
I rang o2 this evening again as it is normally a quitish time for them
and they have taken my query squarely on board and will pass it to their
technical people first thing but it may take a few days to get back to
me.
The strange thing too is that it is not working on my wife's mobile
either and she isn't even registered for the service; so It's not just
me!
And no, we haven't been barred by them! (Smile)!
And no it's not the sims!
Cheers,
Tony

Hi Tony,
I'm using O2. To my surprise, I dialled 196 and got through to
Directory Inquiries right away.
In answer to a question from eleanor: this service is free as it has
been for land-lines for several years, and now it's free for
vision-impaired mobile phone users from most providers here also, once
you register. You do this by filling out a form you can get from
NCBI,
etc.
