If You Own a Mobile Please Read

I must thank young Daniel 1974 for discovering this. As most of us know from the middle of July there will be a mobile phone directory which will list every active mobile in the country. This information will be held in the usual style of a 118 directory service and will hold the number for minors and the elderly. The database is unfiltered and obviously there will be companies purchasing call lists which will be available.

The database is said to have over 15m numbers collected from various agencies and companies and also from brokerage firms which buy and sell person information, such as telephone numbers. The information on this database has been purchased in a manner which has satisfied the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) which investigates allegations of breaches into the Data Protection Act.

If you don't want to be part of this directory, you can go ex-directory before the launch of this service by following a few simple steps. It is free. Have your mobile phone to hand before you begin the process which takes less than 2 minutes.

Go to http://www.118800.co.uk/removeme/remove-me.html

Click 'Home' then 'Ex-Directory' in the menu at the top of the page.

Enter your mobile number and the security words which appear on the screen.

This will take you to a new page where you need to enter a 5 digit code which will be sent to you by text a few moments after entering that page.

That's it done. I've managed it so I'm sure anyone can.

Update: I notice this morning that 118 800 have changed their page to state they don't sell numbers etc.
