Nobodys number will be made available. Would you please - please read their site. If what you were saying was true how would the company ever get offcom approval?! Puleease! 118800 don't give out numbers to ANYONE. If someone wants to talk to you they send you a message and you choose to accept or reject the call. As far as kids go 118800 say that if they can't verify that the number belongs to an adult they mark it as ex-directory. Please report fact not rumour!

All you're doing is giving them information they most likely don't have. What happens when they have a call for you (assuming they have your details right - most of their data is probably well out of date) is they send you a text asking you to ring them. All you need to do is delete the text, don't respond even to say they've got the wrong number as you're just giving them more information. Let them have the expense of sending out all these texts for no return. Don’t bother, they’ve only got 15 million numbers out of an estimated 40 million in circulation.
