6 yearsgot a call from someone saying they were magical trevor, sounded a bit off but funny nonetheless. gave me a laugh on a dull day!Trevor7 yearsIs this number genuinely for directory enquiries? My vulnerable mother-in-law has been slapped with a £4.05 bill for a mere 2 minutes and 41 seconds of a phone call. After seeing what others have said about this number, it seems quite possible that she didn’t actually dial it at all.8 yearsMy elderly mother, who’s a sprightly 90 and relies solely on her pension, found herself with an unexpected charge of £53 after dialling this number multiple times in just a quarter of an hour. She grappled with it half a dozen times, completely unaware of the costs involved, thinking it was all part of her standard call package. It feels rather predatory that they profit off unsuspecting folks like her. It's disheartening that such practices are permitted. Truly disappointing.9 yearsOn the 3rd of August, 2017, my mobile bill indicated a call to this particular number, yet I can assure you I never made such a call, and it ended up costing me £7. Quite frustrating, really!10 yearsI recently checked my house phone bill and noticed a direct debit of £70.95, which seems a bit steep. When I called to inquire about it, they mentioned that I had dialled 118247, which supposedly cost me £43.20. I assure you, I never rang that number; I was trying to get some directory assistance! After I got that response, I hung up in disbelief. This isn't a cost I can sustain each month. What are my options here?10 yearsBlimey! That advert is absolutely brilliant and so catchy!11 yearsThis place is an absolute paradise for anyone seeking information!Submit Your Own Report (118247)
