7 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 yearsCan anyone confirm if this number is actually for directory enquiries? My elderly mother-in-law got billed £4.05 for a call lasting 2 minutes and 41 seconds. After reading other people's experiences with this number, it seems probable that she never even dialled it. Quite suspicious, if you ask me.8 yearsMy mum is 90 and only just gets by on her pension, yet somehow she ended up with a £53 bill after only 15 minutes on this number. She rang it a few times - six, I think - because she was having problems, not knowing how pricey these calls get. She thought it was included in her phone package, so this hit her hard. Feels like they’re ripping off folks who don't understand, especially the elderly. It’s grim that this kinda thing is even permitted.9 yearsI saw on my phone bill from 8th March 2017 that I supposedly called this number, but I know for a fact I didn’t. What’s worse is it ended up charging me £7.10 yearsI got charged £70.95 on my house phone direct debit, so when I rang up to sort it out they told me I’d called 118247 and the charge was actually £43.20. The thing is, I never dialled that number, only this one. They claimed it was for directory enquiries and then I just ended the call. I really don’t know what to do because I can’t keep paying this amount every month.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)
