I only ask.
A few days ago, I passed on an email from a friend (which had been passed to her...) warning of the impending mobile number directory, run by 11800 on which we all would be listed if we didn't sign up at http://www.118800.co.uk/removeme/remove-me.html
The problem is, pretty much ever since the site has been closed.
In other words - as I see it - they (probably didn't like the number of people trying to opt out and) have closed their opt out list. On the other hand, it may have been a scam to get lots of peoples mobile numbers and the now know they've been found out.
Or maybe they're no threat at all.

That's what I've been thinking Is it a scam? I suppose with out other details to go with a mobile its limited but it still increases the file of working numbers. We will just have to see how it goes when it goes live. The thing is it will increase income to networks if the call goes to answer phone and you then listen to it. So it will suit the networks.
