Assuming that you have access to both a computer and a telephone, here is a step by step guide on how to utilize directory enquiries services and find the phone number you’re looking for.

-Acquire as much information as you can. Make sure before you start that you have at your disposal everything you know about the person you wish to contact. The most important information will be the name and general location of the individual. You might even just know a last name and first initial with the general location of “London.” That will be necessary to know, but after that, more information will just help refine your search. First and middle names, age, address, schools attended, spouse name and work location can all help narrow results down.

*Remember that directory enquiries services should be used for those phone numbers that are truly difficult to locate. Many numbers can be found for free through search engines online. If you’re still stuck, read on!
-Choose a directory enquiries service provider. Make your choice based on how much information you have and whether the service charges by connection, one-off fee, or per minute. If you have little in the way of information, choose a directory enquiries service that charges a flat fee, thereby ensuring you more time to help refine your search.
-Call the service. Have all your information ready and give it to the representative in the order it will be the most useful. Do name and location first and pare down the results from there. Try not to get bogged down in insignificant details and keep it brief. You want to pay as little as possible!
-Have a pen and a piece of paper handy. Once you have gleaned the phone number of your desired contact from the directory enquiries service, write the number down and hang up. Do not let them patch you through to the number, because you will pay more money per minute than you would with your normal network provider.
-Call the number you have acquired and get ready to explain to your contact how you got a hold of their phone number and why!
