[BNM] Mobile phone directory- have a word!

[Ali]

I, for one, will not be visiting the 118800 website and giving them my 
mobile number, even to go ex-directory

If they can find me and I appear in the directory then I will get myself 
removed.

as I understand it all the mobile networks refused to co-operate with this 
bunch and therefore they are left scrabbling around for any means to 
populate their spamming tool, in the past, on web forms and the like, I have 
not consented to my number being used by anyone other than for the purposes 
of managing a service someone I have given it to provides.

Ali
