An industry first new App offers unlimited calls & connections for fixed monthly fees of £2.48 and £4.98 respectively on a subscription basis by 118 118.

The UK’s leading directory enquiries service has launched the industry’s first mobile App that will offer unlimited calls and connections for fixed monthly fees of £2.48 and £4.98 respectively on a subscription basis. 118 118 Unlimited offers callers four free calls on signing up for the monthly subscription, and the App will launch on iTunes and Google Play app stores for Android and iOS phones with subscriptions paid by bank card.

“The launch of our App marks a milestone in the company, as we offer smartphone users a better deal to use our service. We see specific markets for our new app, for the elderly who need access to a lifeline at any time; for busy mums who need emergency numbers in a split second or their kids who they want to keep tabs on; for salespeople or anyone travelling a lot in their cars not in range of the internet; and generally, for business people or their PAs wanting a listing in a hurry.”
