Ntl's 192 replacement 118878
192 is to be no more.
If you are a BT phone subscriber you have plenty of choice as to what new directory enquiries service you use. Great, just as Oftel intended to open up the market, each offers differing facilities for differring call rates. What does ntl do? Well apparently you can only use the ntl service number that they have just started promoting: 118 878. Ok so the call rate does appear reasonable - a straight 40p charge for 2 enquiries and no charge per minute. However, ntl will only allow you to use their service: Quote:
So much for Oftel's planned competition. |
what happens when you phone 192? I cant really understand all this 118xxx crap like i could 192 :(
|
According to all the propaganda spouted by ntl on "buy ntl" channel, once 192 dies you'll get a recopded mesage giving you an 0800 number to dial for "help".

not until towards the end of august though can't remember the date off the top of my head though!! :(
|
I can't see why they don't open it up to all 118 numbers, after all, 11 88 88 is cheaper and is already used by most mobiles.

Well yes, but that's besides the point :angel:

Wasn't there a way round the old 192, that if you dialed from a phone box you didn't get charged for it! Are you now going to be charged or will you still get it free from BT's fancy new number what ever that is?! :shrug:

The only way they will change is if they get a lot of customer complaints about the situation. |

Come on ntl - what are you afraid of? |
thinking about it why bother with calling directory enquiries when you can get 10 free searches a day (10 per day + 200 additional per month if you register) from BTs website (assuming you're at home with a net connection) after all its the same database isn't it ???
EDIT: *grin* you just have to love clearing your cookies out :cool: |
Why change the 192 any way we have had it and used it for years its easier to remember than some 118 118 or any of ther numbers
if it aint broke why fix it:shrug: :confused: |
