Hi all,
I suspect you may 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 if you want to make sure you are ex-directory it must be done before the beginning of next week. You may want to suggest it to all your friends and family who have UK Mobiles or they could be swamped by unsolicited massages and calls. Removal is recommended by the BBC.

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 [urlhttp://www.118800.co.uk[/url then go to ex-directory
(you will need your mobile with you to do this)They will text you a code that you then enter into there website.

Hope this is of use.

Had an e-mail sent with this info and wasn't sure about it's validity. Cheers for that. I would think that cold calling to mobiles may become a complete nuisance!

Done thanks for the info.

Cheers thanks for that,i will be spreading the word

Thanks for that !!!!

Have just done mine too

Thanks for that. Should save some hassle.

Did it this morning

Cheers for that even done mine out here in Kosovo

Tried it but.....offline for essential maintenance!

Ex-directory unavailable due to maintenance at the mo

I like to put these people on 'hold', which is in effect leaving the phone next to the telly until they get bored and hang up.
