The KPN Telecom National Directory Enquiry Service
enables network providers to provide their subscribers with a number
information service without having to set-up and maintain their
own facilities. With this service KPN provides the Telco subscribers
with access to its own retail number information service 'KPN Telecom
Inlichtingen Binnenland' (0900-8008).
The KPN Telecom National Directory Enquiry Service is handled
by a KPN Directory Enquiry Operator, who will answer in Dutch.
The greeting is: "Goedemorgen/ goedemiddag/ goedenavond met
KPN Telecom Inlichtingen Binnenland" (as yet it is not possible
to customize this service).
A Telco Subscriber may request a search for two telephone numbers
per Call with up to three Information Elements. When requesting
the search from the KPN Directory Enquiry Database, the Telco
Subscriber shall supply the KPN Directory Enquiry Operator with
the following details:
i) town/city and name; or
ii) town/city and business branch; or
iii) town/city and address; or
iv) postal code and house number.
The KPN Directory Enquiry Operator gives one of the following
answers to the Telco Subscribers:
i) the telecommunication number of a Subscriber; or
ii) the announcement that the Subscriber is unlisted. If the number
is unlisted, the Telco Subscriber will be told the number is unlisted
and the number will not be disclosed; or
iii) a telecommunication number and/or address information for
a Subscriber listed in the pink part of the telephone phone book;
or
iv) an announcement that on the basis of the information provided
by the Telco Subscriber, no information is available in the KPN
National Directory Database.
The information available in the KPN Standard National Directory
Database will depend on agreements with the Third Telecom Providers
for inclusion of Subscriber information in the KPN Standard National
Directory Database. The following number information is available
in the KPN Standard National Directory Database:
i) KPN PSTN;
ii) KPN ISDN;
iii) KPN GSM;
iv) KPN Telecom PSTN Freephone Service Numbers; and
v) KPN Telecom PSTN Special Rate Service Numbers.
