Well, my first response to this news article was “WHAT THE HECK?! I do not want my number given out to anyone!” I got very annoyed at the idea that anyone can get hold of my number – a name and address is not tricky to find, and from that they then have my mobile number, which is always on and always with me.
Very scary! It just adds to this feeling that Big Brother is watching you – not a fan at all.
I make sure all boxes on the ridiculous online forms are not selected or ticked to be excluded, so noone but those I give my number to should have it. Now though, it appears that if I missed one little box, or marketers have my number from places, then I could be “at risk”.
Freaky…
I had a look to see how easy it was to take yourself off the list, and I’m still no clearer on how to do it.
I went to www.mobile118.co.u, and then to www.118optout.co.uk and finally to the remove me inner pages of www.118800.co.uk- and I still do not know if my number is on the dratted service!
