Hi guys & gals..
Just in case you are not aware or have forgotten to do it - your mobile phone numbers will become public property along with your name from early next week. This will leave you open to cold calling, etc. and anyone will have access to your number.
In the event that you wish to 'unsubscribe' and withhold your number see copy of e-mail from below:-
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. 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 and calls. Removal is recommended by the BBC - see link below.

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)

When on the site, click "Home" then "Ex-directory" this will remove you from the directory.
You can remove your number from this list, and tell all your friends – no one agreed to this when we signed our mobile phone contracts.
