I have been with Virgin for years and didn't know about this free service. Found out whilst reading on their booklets they sent me.
BT Directory Enquiries costs £1.99/ min plus connection fee of 62p
Probably going to go stone cold but hopefully it will help someone.

Very useful if you have a virgin mobile.
Can't see myself using it at home, as you would be phoning up to get someone to use Google for you .... on the other hand that sounds well posh!!

Like in the olden days, ringing someone up to Google something or check train times.

I take it you are 10 years old or something ?
There are plenty of people who don't have a smart phone, don't use the internet but have virgin landline.

I do not have a smartphone.
I do not even have a mobile phone of any description, not even a £10 cheapie.
I do have a Virgin Media landline.
So this is useful info for me.
If I ever need to phone someone up, that I do not know the number for.
Trofll.

What a foolish reason to vote cold. Although you and many others (me included) may not use this service, it is still a free service that many will find useful at a time when every other provider chanrges a fortune for the same thing. As such, it has to be HOT.

Do you eat McCoys crisps, real men don't read instructions (but us nerds do) because we have better things to do with our time than deleting shows, just incase you didn't realise you can use the clear button on individual items too, not just folders.
