What a useful site. I have noticed how the directory base is rapidly expanding, and as a result now find it harder to see if a number is available. The first problem are the unchecked numbers which appear in non alphabetical order and that makes checking a tedious effort. Also, it would be so helpful when any new numbers are added that they could be immediately identified, with some indicator that perhaps remains for say a week.

I find the current increasing trend of non geographical totally unacceptable and just a profit making machine. This is even made worse as I am now on a unlimited package for all 01 or 02 numbers and the need to know their geographical numbers reduces my phone bill enormously.

Here's how to find the number you need quickly: use the Find facility!

Press Ctrl+F then enter the last three digits of the "08" number you've got.  Then you'll find this number on the same line as other numbers for the same company.
