A friend of mine told me about this the other day, apparently if someone contacts the company to try and get your mobile number,they won't get directly through to you. You will get a text from the company with the persons name and then you can either approve them or reject them.

I don't like the sound of this at all so I have unsubscribed already
If I want someone to have my number I will give it to them.

You can safely ignore this "service". Apart from they don't give out numbers, their website crashed on it's first day and down again now - weeks later. Hopefully it'll stay down forever. As it turns out (since the WL reported it) they don't have that many numbers on file - the 16 million they claim includes all the expired numbers from old phones that people gave to marketing companies years ago. You can check on their website (if/when it's up) to find out if they know yours. Plus you can accept the call, then hang up immediately - just to send the caller the message (an expensive message, it costs them nearly a quid) that you're not going to talk to them.

I too have unsubscribed just to be on the safe side!!
