From next week a UK directory will be connecting customers to mobile phone users in the UK, something that may well prove to be occasionally useful, and occasionally irritating.
To decide if you would like to go ex-directory (becoming “directory” involves a less explicit decision on your part) it is well worth visiting the website where opting out is easily done.
How the directory allows people to get in contact with you is not so bad as you might imagine - they don’t give out mobile numbers; the service connects the enquirer to your mobile, and gives you the option to accept the call or not. This all sounds very reasonable, but opting out may be easier than explaining to your boss why you declined to take their call.
The BBC’s Working Lunch discusses some of the legal issues surrounding the service here.

Thank you for this very useful bit of information, even though it has nothing to do with employment law.
