Controversial new mobile phone directory service 118800.co.uk has crashed, after thousands of users flocked online to remove their numbers from the site, according to reports.
The site, which launched last month, now displays holding page which reads service suspended while we make improvements.

The firm obtained up to 16 million mobile numbers from market research firms as well as online businesses who require customers to leave their contacts details, according to the Telegraph.
Although it doesnt hand out phone numbers to those who pay to use the service, it will connect a caller to the person they are looking for, leading some campaigners to complain it is an invasion of privacy, the report said.

this has been discussed at length on tv here for a long while now, I myself took my numbers off some time ago.
suspect it was mentioned again on some daytime show and a couple million folk freaked and jumped on their comps
