Hi, I've just been sent the following message about a mobile phone directory that's starting up next week....
Hi all
Have been sent this info:
Maybe you have heard about this but early next week all UK mobiles will be
on a directory which will mean that anyone will be able to access the
numbers. It is easy to unsubscribe but it must be done before the beginning
of next week to make sure that you are ex directory. We have all
unsubscribed and you may want to suggest it to all your friends and family
who have UK mobiles or they could be swamped by unsolicited messages and
calls. Removal is recommended by the BBC - see link below.
BBC NEWS | Programmes | Working Lunch | Mobile phone directory to launch
The Directory of Mobile Phone numbers goes live next week.
All numbers including those belonging to children will be open to cold
calling and the general abuse that less scrupulous telesales people subject
us too.
To remove your number go here. (you need your mobile phone with you to do
this, they text you a code)
The only directory with millions of mobile numbers - 118800 <http://www.118800.co.uk/>
select the ex-directory hyperlink at the upper right corner of the page and
follow the instructions.
