UK Mobile Phone Directory

I thought that you might be interested to know that from 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 as soon as possible. You could be swamped by unsolicited messages and calls. Removal is recommended by the BBC - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/working_lunch/8091621.stm

The Directory of Mobile Phone numbers goes live next week. There are two ways to remove your number.

1. Text the letter ‘E’ to 118800 from the mobile phone you want to be made ex-directory. Standard network charges apply.

2. Go to the Homepage http://www.118800.co.uk (http://www.118800.co.uk/) and the Ex-Directory link is along the top of the page.

You then need to enter your mobile phone number, they then text you a 5 digit code which you then have to enter into the website to complete the process.

I hope you find this useful.

Thats shocking... I wonder when I gave permission for my info to be listed.. And thats a genuine question - I wonder where it is in the contracts from phone companies..

I already knew about this a month ago and had my number taken off.

If I want people calling me I will give them my number, that's how it works, unsolicited anything should be illegal.

Cold callers and the like are something which annoys a large number of people in the country.

Sadly they must make money somehow to still be in business and that means people are buying things from people who randomly ring them up. Retards.
