I believe there are several measured-service plans for directory
enquiries (in the U.S., you normally see the word "assistance", not
"enquiries").  My own telephone service has such a plan; for numbers
within Delaware, I think it's three free calls per month, with my
being able to request two numbers per call.  Elsewhere, I think it is
chargeable and comes under my long distance carrier, with possible
exception of area 215 (since I am in the Philadelphia LATA along with
most but not all of 215).
