There is also the 195 service, which is a free directory enquiries service. If you are unable to read or hold a telephone directory because of your sight loss or other disability, you can make use of the service. You can use this service whether or not BT is your telephone company. To apply for this service, call for free on 0800 587 0195 and ask for an application form. As well as filling out details about yourself, you will also need someone like a doctor, nurse or other medical practitioner to countersign the form before you send it off. Once you have successfully signed up to the service, all you do is dial 195 and you can speak to an operator who will find the number you require. If you ask to be connected to the number you require, you will then be charged for the call you make according to the call package that you have with your provider.
