m/phone directory

[brucie1996]

From next week ANYONE can get your m/phone number companies have sold your contact number to a 118118 type company. I got an e-mail if you don't want this to happen click on the link , http://www.118800.co.uk/ BUT it is now not working. Don't know about any of you but I do not want my m/phone number available to every man & his dog.............what do you think

[leyaenda]

Why?What are you worried about?Most folks details are available oni think its 192.com via the electoral register.Its a big brother state and people are watching you.Your nuying hanbits are tracked by tescos if you have a tesco card , they have the biggest private database in the uk.They are watching your every move through travel insurance car insurance credit card comapnies etc.You are but a number.

Dont get all paranoid as people will need your name surely ?


Oops how did i know yiur name was shirley ?

Leyaenda (is that you Leg?) - 192.com only has the edited electoral roll. Since 2002, you have been able to "opt out" of the published version. Thus 192 only contains about 40% of the population.

I completely agree with you about loyalty cards though. That's why I don't have one and draw out cash and pay with that.

[leyaenda]

Course its me.Im in my friday clothes.Seems our mutual fiend.Oops typo , is busy tap tapping away.

Barmaid you can find quitee alot on that 192.i believe a certain soldier used it to track a few users here.
Theres a law over here,, well spanish law but theyve adopted it here too, robinson law i think its called where you can go online and register your landline or mobile number so you dont get any unsolicited junk calls from telesales and the like.
I usually talk to them and after an hour we usually part in good natured way.


i dont buy anything tho.

lol

[Barmaid]

I know you can - but you won't find me on it!!!

I'm not too fussed about this mobile thing. I don't answer my phone anyway, unless I know who is calling.

[grasscarp]

The 118 website is closed for maintenance at the moment. There is another way to get off the register
text �E� to 118800 from the mobile phone you want to be made ex-directory

[karma22]

I think they should at least ask us if we want our mobile number made public!!

[hc4361]

The number isn't made public. They phone you and ask if you want to accept the call. They do not give your number out.

[leyaenda]

I was waiting on that hc.

I did hear that on the radio.
But seeing as the paranoia train had pulled out of the station i didnt want to derail it.

Lol

[karma22]

Oh so there won't be a telephone directory listing everyones mobile number - the person has to phone 118247/similar and then the operator comes through and asks if we want to accept? Hmm I can see barriers being crossed though

[leyaenda]

karma rubbish.dont overthink a simple thing theres no risk and im sure it will cost money too. i really dont see the big deal whats someone gonna do with your number unless youre a film star or someone famous its only a number


chillout before you burst your brain over this.

barriers being crosssed is merely in your imagination.

[brucie1996]

My landline number is Ex direct. due to some very nasty phone calls at all time of the day & night. I just don't want the same thing with my m/phone but if they ring you first to ask if you want to accept the call then it will not be a problem.
