Mobile phone numbers.

Recommended Posts

Has anyone heard about this? I'm told it is genuine.

 

 

URGENT - MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS NOW

Dear All

The Directory of Mobile phone numbers goes live next week.

If you do Not want your mobile number available to everyone you need to go to

this site and it will put your number ex directory. All numbers including those

belonging to children will be open to cold calling.

 

 

TO REMOVE YOUR NUMBER GO HERE.

It does appear to be genuine, although as Wild Mum says, they don't give out your number, just act as an operator and you have to agree to take the call anyway. I'd be wary of registering with them though as this just confirms your details to them. Apparantly, some of the details they have are very out of date.

 

My preferred option is to register my mobile number with the telephone preference service and the fax preference service, that way they can't contact you even if they know your number :D

I heard them discussing it on the radio.

 

You phone them and they connect you AFTER asking the person on the mobile if they want to take a call from you.

 

They have bought the numbers and you can opt out. To have made it an opt in service would have left it not viable.

 

So if I want to phone Claret I could call them up and tell them her name and which neck of the woods she lives in - if she was on their database they would then call her and ask her if she will accept a call from me before putting me through. They DON'T give out numbers.

 

I think it sounds like a good idea considering you store all your numbers in your own mobile and if you dont have that you could be stuck for contacting someone.
