  Directory assistance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Directory assistance (in the UK, directory enquiries) in telecommunications is a telephone call one can make to find out a specific phone number of a residence or business.
A number which is neither available by directory assistance nor printed in the telephone book is called unlisted, and a number which is available by directory assistance but not printed in the telephone book is called non-published.
In the North American Numbering Plan (covering Canada and the United States), directory assistance may be contacted by dialing 4-1-1 (one of the N11 codes) or the Toll Free Number of one of the free directory assistance providers.
