Hi folks, I just found out about this so thought I'd pass it on............

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.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/wo...091621.stm

Just done this myself. Double checked it wasn't a scam and it is actually on the bbc website recommending to do this.
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)
http://www.118800.co.uk/removeme/remove.html

Click on HOMEPAGE at the bottom of the screen then EXDIRECTORY at the top of the following screen then follow the on screen instructions.

You can remove your number from this list, and tell all your friends - especially those with children who have mobile phones. I personally believe my mobile number is private and I should be able to chose who I give it to - none of us agreed to this when we signed our mobile phone contracts.

Thanks. There's a typo in the second link, an extra full stop that needs to be removed.

I see that it says it can take up to 4 weeks to be removed though :Chair:

ok, what I do is to type in my posting, and say I want to put a link on the word "here". I then highlight the word "here" (double-clicking on it on a PC usually does the trick, or you can hold down the left mouse button and drag the highlights across the text). Then click on the "Insert Link" button above [Image: createlink.gif] and a box should pop up asking you for the URL (address) of the link. Paste that URL into the box and click "Ok", and you should be done ! Smile
