   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.

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)

When on the site, click "Home" then "Ex-directory" this will remove you from the directory.

Hi

All the above is not needed....to get access to your number...someone has to know your name.....and ASK for the number...even then they wont get it...you are sent a text asking if YOU want to ring that person...they are NOT allowed to give out your number to ANYONE...SPAMMERS or anyone else...

All the best Brett
