[countessghoulita at aol.com]

 This is crazy (on top of cell phones abuse re. being called by one's boss/co-workers while on sick leave/holidays/etc).

?FYI -?according to the BBC website "all UK 
mobiles" isn't strictly true?and the directory itself does try to allay 
some of the concerns.? Other than that though, I wasn't aware of this until 
today.

Maybe you've 
        not?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 
        (118800).? It is 
        easy to unsubscribe but it must be done before the beginning of next 
        week to make sure that you are ex directory.? The way the 
        system works is 118800 send you a text from someone who is trying to 
        contact you with their details.? It is then up to you whether to 
        contact them or not. I have 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. Removal is recommended by the BBC - 
        see link below.?

The 
        Directory of Mobile Phone numbers goes live next 
        week.





        

        

        

        

To 
        remove your number use the link below (you need your mobile phone with 
        you to do this, they text you a code)

Click on HOMEPAGE at the bottom of 
        the screen then EXDIRECTORY at the top of the following screen then 
        follow the on screen 
        instructions.






        
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.
