Why the 118 800 Number is Getting Everyone Scared

September 20th, 2009 No comments

For years we have had phone directories which you would be able to call up and they would give you the number of any business or service in the UK. It has been a very valuable service and one that people have been happy with for years, but people have been left shocked at the new announcement that a new service will be launching that actually puts you in touch with peoples mobile numbers.

The service called 118 800, has collected around 42 million tele phone numbers. The service will work the same way as traditional directories, but the numbers will not be given out to anyone, they will only be able to be put through to the folk.

But a huge amount of people of people have caused uproar and they believe there is still a huge amount of issues left. A huge amount of people will be on the database without them even realising it and they will be getting a vast amount of calls.

Could you even imagine if there were famous people in the directory, people would constantly be trying to get through to them on a daily basis. People can also opt for their mobiles to become ex directory, by either sending an SMS or calling a standard rate network.Even then it could take upto a month to get the changes updated.

There are a couple of ways in which the service works, first and foremost you can call the directory and ask to be put through to a specific person. The operator then talks to the person and asks whether it is ok to connect the call, or you have the option of trying to use the online site.

Will the Government Allow the Rise of Free Phone Calls

May 4th, 2009 No comments

In the current world we live in, a single person uses technology at least once a day to communicate. Whether it's a phone call, text message or internet access.

As technology progresses we are going to see new ways of communication filtering through. You may have come across twitter, which is a brand new communicating approach, people love it because its a free way of communicating.

I mean people are beginning to get fed up and so annoyed with mobile phones charging huge amounts to consumers, I mean you ring a freephone 0800 number and your mobile provider charges you a fortune. Well to be honest in a few years time all I can see is mobile phone providers losing out.

Because the latest trend is that of IP telephony which basically offers free calls via the internet. Mobile Phone providers are getting very anxious as to what the future holds for them and we have already seen certain providers begin to block access to VoIP applications.

But with the current credit crisis and economic downturn in full swing it is only a matter of time until people get fed up and just switch to VoiP. VoIP is still a baby product and has a while to go until it hits the global market, but when it does a huge amount of people will begin using it. But I can guarantee that in no time whatsoever companies will find a way to start charging consumers to communicate with each other. There is no way that the governments of the planet would ever let the telecoms sector suffer.
