About Voice Data Bridge!
Voice Data Bridge is the parent company of three distinct Directory Assistance (DA) brands operating in the Netherlands. It furthermore operates two wholly-owned call centres with 100 seats, their primary role being to service the inbound DA call traffic of the group.
Following the government's liberalisation of the DA market in
2007, Voice Data Bridge was the only successful challenger to KPN
and other telecom incumbents. The 1850 and 1820 brands quickly grew to become
respectively the second and fourth largest DA services in the
Netherlands with a combined market share in excess of 35%. In April
2009, the company acquired Vodafone's 1800 DA number, which was the
third largest DA brand in the Netherlands. The group's total market
share in DA is now approximately 40%.
The company is now branching out into other telecom-related
fields. In August 2009 a new 1850-branded conference calling
service for the SOHO/SME market was unveiled (0900-1855).
