What's happened to 118.com

First I was pushed to 119.com and when I persisted, FF warned me I was requesting a risky site. It offered me 115.com


It was too good to be true, but has it gone the way of commercialism? If so, is there a new way to get UK numbers without being a subscriber?

problem there is the BT site only lists BT numbers, anyone with one of the other companies isn't included
as I understand it 192.com is supposed to list them all

Thanks Milo, that is so obvious when you see it in b&w in front of you, but I'd never thought about that, so when I've been looking up numbers and not found them, I've just assumed the subscribers choose to be unlisted. Although it lists Jersey numbers and they are JT, not BT.

The BT Phone Book provides number for all providers and not just BT customers.

See this quote from the "Help" section of the website -
"The Phone Book online uses data from a core database to which all licensed Telecommunications Operators and Service Providers submit their customer's directory data."

Thanks for that. I had to sign in to actually get the number, but that's okay, 20 hits a day are free.

118.com - Comprehensive Business Search is actually up and running but appears to only offer business numbers
