A new service from 118800 is about to bring us a phone directory with a twist – it’ll list mobile numbers too. It’s set to go live next Thursday, June 18th and will let you connect directly to people by calling 118800 or online at 118800.co.uk. To use it you’ll need to give the name of the person and the location of the mobile you’re looking for, but you won’t just get the number in return. A search will be performed using mobile numbers purchased from list brokers, market research firms and other companies that may have collected your number. If successful the operator will then call the recipient who can then choose to answer the call. If they don’t answer a text or a voicemail can be sent instead.
How many mobile numbers do they have? Many millions. They’ve more than likely got yours too.
