O2 UK is dishing out its customers' mobile numbers like free sweeties to every website they visit over a 3G connection.

I only use O2 3G when I'm out, and that's usually only to access here. so I'm not that worried.

How long has this been goin' on  

As Rik may have added

[pctech]

Only started to use data since getting the ray and thats mostly been via Wi-Fi as my data add on doesn't come into effect until my next bill in Feb.

No 3G around here so not worried, also I don't leave the house that much and tend to use wifi at friends etc anyway.
