A company will begin offering a directory service from next week that
allows people to find the mobile phone numbers of people they don't
know.
Run by 118800, it will cost £1 and use databases of numbers it said
are freely available for purchase and in the public domain. Anyone
searching for a number can type the name and location of the person
into the 118800 website. It claims to have some 15m numbers in its
database.
I read in the Times that the company claims it has consulted the ICO
and Privacy International were also asked for advice.
