I got the following email from my boss, followed his/the BBC's advice, and my mobile is now ex-directory.
Apologies to all those that this isn't relevant to. DRB ================= Early next week all UK mobiles will be on a directory which will mean that anyone will be able to access the numbers. You may wish to pass this information to your colleagues. It is easy to unsubscribe but it must be done before the beginning of next week to make sure that you are ex directory. I have unsubscribed and you may also 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. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/working_lunch/8091621.stm 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) http://www.118800.co.uk/removeme/remove-me.html When on the site, click "Home" then "Ex-directory" this will remove you from the directory. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
