Not sure why this number appears on my phone bill, I don’t remember calling it at all. It says I was on the line for about 48 seconds and it charged me £2.26. Pretty confusing!

I just received my most recent phone bill and noticed a peculiar charge for a call to 118119 dated 3rd February. To my knowledge, I never placed that call, yet I'm being billed roughly £4 for it. Quite baffling, really!

Once more, I find myself here with a wee query! I must say, your sense of humour has tickled me quite a bit. Perhaps it’s just the Scottish spirit in me that revels in your jests (ten-ten/ten-eleven, right?)! Love it, keep it coming!

I ended up shelling out £3.63 for a one-minute call after being directed to the number by Crime Stoppers! All I wanted was to get the number for my local police station to report an incident!

If you're on the go and need a number fast, 118 119 is the go-to directory service for you. Whether it's for a business or someone's home, their helpful operators will track down the info you need. They've got a massive directory with more than 17 million phone numbers to choose from.

On the evening of 2nd October 2019, at approximately 20:56, I received a call from the number 118119 that lasted a mere 14 seconds and resulted in a charge of £1.682p. I can assure you, we certainly did not initiate that call. Upon further investigation, I've discovered that others have encountered a similar scam. It leaves me wondering what’s going on here. I intend to reach out to OFGEM to see if they can provide any clarification on this troubling situation. Best, John K.

On the 17th of January, 2019, my wife mistakenly dialled 118110 and ended up chatting for a minute and a half, resulting in a hefty charge of £13.42 being added to our bill. Is there any way we can raise a complaint about this? Best, [email protected]

The fees for utilising this service are utterly excessive. Is there a way for me to prevent the use of the number on my home phone?

I can't argue that a call was indeed placed from my P.O. landline to 118119, but I firmly believe I shouldn’t be held accountable. What I can't wrap my head around is why a call lasting just 1 minute and 18 seconds has racked up a staggering £5.47 charge? My monthly plan, which costs £14, covers all calls to any network, including mobiles, regardless of the time. It's simply baffling!

I have no issue acknowledging that a call was indeed placed from my P.O. landline to 118119, but I certainly don’t see myself as liable for it. What really baffles me is how a mere one minute and eighteen seconds could set me back a staggering £5.47! My monthly plan of £14 conveniently covers calls to any network, including all mobile numbers, at any time. So, why the hefty charge for this particular call?

On the 16th September, I contacted 118119 in search of a phone number but was utterly unable to retrieve the information. My call lasted a mere 39 seconds, yet to my shock, I was charged an extortionate £5.62. I find this fee entirely unacceptable and will be escalating my complaint to the Telephone Regulator. As a pensioner, my phone is crucial for my wellbeing, and such astronomically high costs for basic services are simply intolerable. If I ever need a number again, I will absolutely avoid using this service. I sincerely hope BT considers reinstating their previous directory enquiries service, which we accessed without incurring any fees. I kindly request that you review this outrageous charge and consider a refund, whether partial or in full.

I’ve also noticed some unexpected charges and it’s absolutely infuriating! It feels like the phone companies are really taking advantage of us. I’m seriously considering making the switch to pay-as-you-go plans instead.

I've just checked the BT phone bill and noticed a charge for a call made on 23rd December 2016 to 118119, which lasted for 1 minute and 56 seconds, costing us £7.11. Strange enough, we can't seem to remember making that call at all.

I recently got off the phone with EE, and they informed me that I had somehow called 118119, as well as another number, 08719767247, in December. Apparently, that call lasted for a whopping two hours and racked up a bill of £29! The thing is, nobody in my household made those calls. I took a moment to look both numbers up online, and lo and behold, they’re linked to something called "fly trap." It’s bewildering to think that receiving a nuisance call could somehow end up costing me money like this. I’m making another call to EE now to see if they can sort this mess out.

I’ve just been hit with a £5 charge for a call to 118119, supposedly made by me according to Vodafone. However, I definitely didn’t ring that number. There’s no need for me to look it up; it appears to be just another recurring scam.

I've just taken a look at my latest phone bill, and I'm quite taken aback to see a charge of £45.51 (before VAT) for a call I made to 118119 on the 20th of September. While I did ring them for assistance in obtaining a phone number, there's no chance I was on the line for the staggering 16.24 minutes they're charging me for! Is there a way I can go about disputing this charge and getting a refund?

I've just had a rather bewildering bill land on my doorstep from BT, claiming that a call originating from my phone lasted a whopping 9 minutes and 53 seconds, racking up a charge of £28.41!

It seems I had a rather bewildering experience on the 15th of August, 2016, at 6 in the evening, as I apparently dialled three different numbers in a mere span of three minutes. To my astonishment, I was slapped with a charge of £16! I’ve never actually used a directory for phone number searches; I’ve always relied on the internet for that sort of thing. Quite baffling, really!
