If you are looking for information on people, businesses and places in the UK, 192.com is the most visited website in the UK for people and business searches. You can lookup addresses, postcodes, telephone numbers and more.

The service started back in 1997, and holds over 600 million records which include current and historical UK electoral roll; people's telephone numbers, addresses and postcodes; information on UK businesses and listings of company directors. You'll also find information on Births, Marriages and Deaths.

They also now feature a UK mapping tool which provides complete Ordnance Survey street coverage and 12.5 cm resolution aerial photography.

Their service allows people to search over million of records of people, businesses and places. Registered users can search and find the information they are looking for.

They offer a number of products which are sold from the site. The service is not really free since people are usually required to pay a fee to access detailed information.

If you want to remove your personal details from the site, you can do that by faxing a form to a fax number or writing to the company.

As an unregistered user, even though you can search some databases for free, you will not be able to see full details of your search results until you have registered and paid.

Only certain databases can be accessed and searched for free. These include:

Directory Enquiries - residential and business listings form the BT Contact Directory Enquiry database.

Classified Listings - Thomson Classified business listings.

Business Directory - Company listings supplied by Dun & Bradstreet Maps.
