    Yell.com 118 247 is a quality service, helpful staff, and you don't feel like you're being heckled off the line ready for the next caller. Have tried other 118 services and consider this by far the best.

    Truly abysmal - called for a company had to spell it 4 times and was advised that no such company existed. What a load of cobblers!


    I walked into Putney - and lo and behold there they were! then checked on line at yell.com and there they were. Cannot believe that you have to ay for such a lousy service!

    Yell.com advisors do everything they can to get you the number required, searching in every possible method and way they can.
    It is also important to note that is is down to the individual business if they are listed or not.
    In my experience every time I have phoned I have had a professional on the phone, and 9 times out of 10 got a number.
    Fab service, with a personal touch.

    Yell.com 118 247 is a good service, i phoned for an emergency vet in my area and they found one for me, i was very stressed as my cat was ill, but they were very professional and very helpful. I always use them now!

    Was language a barrier? Operator spoke with broken English..? I am extremely disappointed with 118 247, considering it was the first time a used the service I have been put off from using the service in the future.

    Over the past fews years i have had to use 118247 many times but it is becoming pointless to use them as they never have the right number or give out the wrong one. then I find it myself quicker on the internet.
    This stuff is not rocket science,
    I don't normally write reviews but the poor service from 118247 is amazing, don't bother using them,

    Sending out text message is all very well, but a just want the correct number.

    I have my own business and was contacted by Yell's 118 and was told that there had been over 300 enquiries regarding my type of business. I was convinced by a 'sales person' to advertise. To date there has been ONE enquiry.

    My hubby was reaching yet another year so thought i would surprise him and arrange a limo so easy through 118247. We really had a fantastic night and the nice limo man even came back to pick us up. It really made my hubbys night and i also know where to get a really good limousine from when i want another. Thanks 118247 for getting me in contact with dream limousines.

    Not being able to find this, together with a national emergency number, means I will definitely no longer use Yell. The PR lady was very understanding before, and she took the trouble to investigate, but they clearly have some educational needs in order to serve customers properly.

    I have used 118 24 7 many times now, and I find it very informative indeed. You always find that those who answer the phone are able and willing to help, and there is never any problem with dialect, as you are connected to a UK call centre.

    This may increase the cost ever so slightly, but you certainly make up for that with the all round experience on the call. I find that when traveling especially, I can gather local information and get business information very easily. When you are eating o ...

    I will no longer use Yell 118 247, but I will try some of the others. Yell directory enquiries may be cheaper in comparison tests, but not if you are not given the number you need.
