What this does and does not prove

A published phone number is a claim. A number that a person dialled and a person answered is a fact. It is the strongest thing this directory can say about a company, which is why it is worth being precise about its limits.

The other 75 companies may answer just as reliably. Nobody has dialled them yet, and an absent tick is our gap rather than a mark against them.

Why we bother

Most directories publish whatever number they scraped and never touch it again. That is how a restaurant with a dead walk-in ends up ringing a disconnected line, or a company that stopped trading two years ago. Our verification findings record what we found when we checked, including the parked domains and the numbers that now reach somebody else.

If you rang one of these numbers and it did not go as described, tell us at [email protected] and we will recheck it. A confirmation with a date on it is only worth something if we are willing to withdraw it.
