It's £1 at the moment, but that will come down. Cold calling companies will just buy the original list or compile their own.
I'm going to change my mobile to an 0898 number and to hell with it!

I've done a bit of digging on other forums and people were alarmed to find their number listed, it's genuine and I've yet to see any proof to make me think otherwise.Originally posted by rsingh View PostWhat a load of tulipe.
Nobody gets your number and you will be asked if you wish to accept a call from somebody. By "unsubscribing", they will definitely have your number.

At a pound a pop it's not really feasable for commercial cold calling; it IS however an excellent way for stalkers to get in touch!Leave a comment:

Mobile Phone
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.

Just done this myself. Double checked it wasn’t a scam and it is actually on the BBC website recommending to do this.
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/rem...remove-me.html
You can remove your number from this list, and tell all your friends - especially those with children who have mobile phones. I personally believe my mobile number is private and I should be able to chose who I give it to - none of us agreed to this when we signed our mobile phone contracts
