There really is no hiding these days, a company will soon begin offering a directory service that allows people to find the mobile number of people they don't know.
Stalkers of the world rejoice!
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 and if they are listed, get their mobile number. It claims to have some 15m numbers in its database.
So people, how do we feel about any old Tom, Dick or Harry being able to get hold of your mobile number and send you creepy messages?
