Mobile Directory Crashes
The hugely hyped and worried about 118 800 failed to deliver as its service could not perform on the first day. Due to a technical problem, people could not be put through to the mobile number that they were trying to reach.
The service which has already stirred up a lot of anger and campaigners are once again complaining. The company are said to hold around 16 million numbers in the database which have been bought from list brokers who in turn buy personal details from market research firms and online stores.
I can assure you that most of these people will not even have a clue that they are on the directory, it goes against privacy in so many ways. If this does continue to happen then I can guarantee that a huge amount of people will be changing their numbers and not giving it out to anyone.
Folk already get so many spam calls and spam numbers calling them without being on a directory, I can actually see the increase in spam calls getting way too much.
The new directory could probably even effect service providers, as customers in some way believe that the numbers have been passed on by the actual network provider, so what people will begin to do is leave their current network provider and switch over to another one.
Who knows how long the system may last, but personally we could end up seeing it go down after a few months, as we all know what happens when the public become unhappy with a service. We already have various different MPs and campaigners that are literally trying to get the service closed down.
For all your phone number services and great 0871 Numbers and International phone numbers services
