Mobile Phone Directory
Controversial plans to launch a Mobile Phone directory have been announced recently. The company behind the scheme have said that no numbers will ever be given out. The person being contacted would be sent a message asking if they wish to be contacted by the searching party. Nevertheless the annoucement has cause concern over privacy and have led to worries that the scheme might lead to an increase in bullying etc.
The details to compile the directory have been gleaned and purchased from a wide range of sources, mostly from sites where customers have opted into receiving information from third parties. Legally this all stacks up apparently.
Each search is expected to cost a £1.
