Emotional support charity Samaritans has received over £44,000 from directory enquiries
service, One.Tel, since being selected as its charity partner in January 2003.
Over
the last year and a half, Samaritans has received one penny per call on all calls
made to One.Tel’s directory enquiry number 118 111.

One.Tel’s decided to support Samaritans because they saw a synergy between the two
services. Ian El-Mokadem, Managing Director of One.Tel, said: “When people call 
One.Tel directory enquiries, they have an immediate problem that we can quickly 
solve. However, many people need more than a phone number to be able to solve their
problem, and the time and space offered by Samaritans every day can help in finding
a way forward.”

The partnership with Samaritans finished at the end of July 2004.
