CricketGirl Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Hi All, You may already 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 your numbers. It’s easy to unsubscribe but it must be done before the beginning of next week to make sure that you are ex-directory. 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. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/working_lunch/8091621.stm To remove your number click on the link below, you need your mobile phone with you to do this as they text you a code 1, http://www.118800.co.uk/ 2, Click on ‘Ex Directory’ at top right hand side of page, from there it’s straight forward. Regards,
Sachinism Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 thanks for this, didn't know about this, don't want my number out there for the public
DomainK Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Mobile phone numbers are personal. A public directory does not make any sense.
CricketGirl Posted July 8, 2009 Author Posted July 8, 2009 yeah i thought i'd share this with you guys!! its very scary all people need is ur name and area!
Sachinism Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Girls are going to start receiving a lot more calls now. strange idea. Probably gonna be used by telemarketers as well
CricketGirl Posted July 8, 2009 Author Posted July 8, 2009 exactly! imagine those of us in the service industry where we have to give out our names to clients if all you have to do is put in the name and e.g London there your buggered what an invasion of privacy! :mad:

Lurker Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 No big deal for me, apart from Telemarketers call, in which case I can always join the Do not Call list. Much ado about nothing if you ask me.
