heres how to stop your mobile no being published from next week in 118's directory

The Directory of Mobile Phone numbers goes live next week.
All numbers including those belonging to children will be open to cold calling.

To remove your number go here.
http://www.118800.co.uk/removeme/remove-me.html

i have copied and pasted this from an email so i realise this looks a bit dodgy, but next week this will happen, you can take your self off using this
thought some of you might like it on here too as well as my friends!...xxx

'You have been successfully added to
our ex-directory list'

Cheeky burgers, how about just taking me off their list completely???

You can also text E to 118800 to remove too

Got this from their site:
Search here to find out if we have the mobile phone
number of your contact.
If we do, we text them with your details so they can call
you back. We never give out the mobile numbers of
people in our directory to protect privacy.
You will be charged £1 for the text to be sent, but it's free
for your contact.

I don't get it. If someone wanted my number, they use this site, pay a £1, I get a text to give them a call? Why would I want to do that? I give my number out on a need to know basis to those whom I decide. It is a bit weird.

it is stupid.....

if we havent given a number out, are we really going to agree to let some prat have our number? We might just get deluged with requests though!
