I mean, it's 1-2 € a minute plus connection opening fee even here, but still.

I'm not familiar with the term "call into a number service"?

What I call "directory enquiries"; a facility that has got progressively less useful and more expensive since the advent of mobile phones. It's years since I last used it.
Near Lurker:
411, we call it.
Although I can't help but think "freeman means" bashing aliens to death with a crowbar.

Oh, here they work quite well, they know all domestic numbers except prepaid 'burner' subscriptions and the ones that have exclusively opted out, so called secret subscriptions. One can call either private service numbers directly or a special service number provided by the operator and it depends on the phase of the moon and various other factors, which option is the cheapest.
"Directory enquiries" huh, that's so fancy name for it.
