    As others have said, this is a scam and certainly wouldn't have any real effect.

    My whole point about mentioning TPS is that when you register with them it's an industry recognised list by a company set up with ofcom that isn't trying to make money from it.

    Where as this OPT-OUT by 118118 is a company that's trying to make money from having your mobile phone in it's listings, by you confirming that it's your number they're getting exactly what they want...

    Yes, I got that. Sorry to go off topic. Is it the dungeon for me again?
