You may already 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’s easy to unsubscribe but it must be done before the beginning of next week to make sure that you are ex directory. 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
Time is running out for your mobile fone

Are you are referring to the directory run by www.118800.co.uk ?
If so you can unsubsribe any time by following the link on their page or by sending a text with the letter E to 118800

Not "all Mobile Phones" - only those (admittedly the vast, vast majority) where the number has already been supplied to pre-existing databases eg via a contractual or marketing link or agreement.
The lucky few like me who use PAYG for highly restricted personal/private use won't be on it - but I shall check nevertheless

I have been told that it is a scam so that they can get your number
That has been suggested on a forum I've just been looking at.
However nobody will be able to do anything about it for the moment, as their site is down.

I wonder if we'll be able to sue them if we recieve any cold calls as we havnt been able to use their service to go ex directory?

What's the name of the site you are referring to?
Here's what 118 800 is telling us...
Smells like BS to me! They've probably shut it down as they've had such a massive amount of people demanding to go ex-directory that they cannot cope trying to remove them all from the directory.

Hello conny!
Been duckin and divin mate. Actually more flamin Hospital appointments but I have been nippin in and out of here. Back to hospital in the morning! If I could get a Loyalty card I'd be owed a MRI Scanner by now!!! Hopefully a good outcome tomorrow then just need to make sure I don't get that Swine Flu!
Thanks for asking after me matey, it really does make a difference.
the unpopularity of this "service" seems to continue to escape their management who gave all the signs of anticipating making loads of dosh when interviewed by various News progs over the past few weeks.
More fool they - I anticipate their demise within 3 months or so.
I'm afraid the whole concept of "opt out" as opposed to"opt in" is as sinister and undesirable as inertia selling.
