It’s goodbye today (30th April 2024) to BT’s digital directory.
After April 30, the digital directory, The Phone Book Online, which lets users look up a person’s or company’s phone number, will be unavailable. They now have to phone 118 500 at £1.55 a minute, in addition to a 77p call fee, if they are unable to access the internet or cannot find the number they need online.
This is BT’s second axing of a service this year. In March deliveries of the printed phone directory to doorsteps ended. BT said 18 million copies of its phone book were printed annually but people are now using internet search engines to obtain the same information.
