> We have noticed increasingly that telephone numbers are missing from

> lists for companies, this is creating difficulties. I have raised this
> with BvD but seem to be a 'lone voice'.
>
> If any other library subscribes to this service, uses it for the same, or
> similar, purposes and has experienced the same problem, I'd be interested
> to know so that I can use this to apply more pressure to BvD
>
> Alternatively, if any library uses other databases for the same purpose
> and believes they are more reliable than FAME, I'd be grateful if
> theycould let me know so that we can assess them as a possible replacement
