Crosby Managed Directory Enquiry Services

Why choose Crosby 118 Directory Services?

With the introduction of the new six-figure 118 directory enquiry numbers, the UK directory enquiries market has become much more competitive. It is more important than ever that you can offer your customers a high-quality directory enquiries service that puts you ahead of the competition. Callers want a fast response and accurate, efficient number searches when they ring a directory enquiries number.

However, setting up this kind of service requires a significant investment in premises, equipment and people. A simpler and more cost-effective solution is to take advantage of the experience and infrastructure that Crosby has accumulated in directory enquiry services and allow us to provide the service on your behalf.

The services we offer

Crosby 118 Directory Services gives you a wide range of 118 directory enquiry services options at flexible prices. You can choose the options you require to create a differentiated service offering for your customers.

The service options available include:

  • National or international number search
  • The ability to request a single number, or search for several numbers at once
  • Number delivery via an operator or automatically
  • Optional automatic connection to the number requested; this covers standard 01 and 02 telephone numbers and non-geographic numbers (such as free-phone or local rate numbers)
  • Number delivery via short message service (SMS)

Please note that if you want to offer more than one service option - for example, you may want to offer both a national and an international service - you may need to set up a different number for each option.

Setting up the service

Setting up and running your directory enquiries service couldn't be simpler - Crosby does most of the work for you. We help you decide what kind of service you require. We can also apply to Oftel for the 118 numbers you want to offer (you can do this yourself if you prefer).

Your directory enquiry services will be provided by Crosby operators in our call centres. We will handle the calls and sort out the arrangements with other network operators (if required). You will also receive real-time management information on the calls made to your numbers using a web interface tool.

All you need to do is promote your directory enquiry services and numbers.
