Most people have had this email arrive in there inbox by now, send have friends etc.
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. We have
all 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.

on the BBC website recommending to do this.
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)
http://www.118800.co.uk/removeme/remove-me.html You can remove your number from this list (EX-DIRECTORY), 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.
