118 90 DIRECTORY ENQUIRIES (Ireland) - a scarce promotional mug for the launch of the new 118 Directory Enquiries services in Ireland (early 2000s)

Postage is extra.

.
For sale is a scarce promotional mug issued to commemorate the launch of the new 118 DIRECTORY ENQUIRIES services in Ireland. The 118 directory enquiry services are still available and the 11890 number is used to find phone numbers. 118 enquiry numbers also operate in the UK.

The use of 118 Directory Enquiries has declined across Ireland and the UK over recent years die to increasing use of smart-phones and the high cost of 118 calls.
