	<htmltext>I wish this problem was exclusive to T Mobile, I really do. The sad thing is that I've been on two different networks and somehow firms seem to get hold of my mobile number and start calling me offering me an upgrade.

The most accurate firm was one who had my full Orange account details, so why wouldn't you trust a firm who knows where you live? When I reported this to Orange they acted surprised but did absolutely nothing about it, probably because data is flowing far too freely around their organisation.

My current provider isn't immune either, around 12 months on my previous contract with O2 I had multiple companies each trying to sell me a new contract. They claim it's just on an autodialer of numbers to call and have no personal information about me. However the fact that someone knows I'm on O2 means enough personal data is leaking.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>High street retailer is assigned numbers to connect in sequential order in lists hundreds at a time:

e.g 07738 400500 to 07738 400900

Joe public walks in and buys a handset on contract with a new number
12/18 months later gets a call from a company to sell him a new deal. Asks why?

All that company has done is sent someone into said high street retailer, asked to see the phone numbers list on screen and pick one out
That person know that in a 12/18 months time he can plug that number range into his dialer with a high probability that his company will be able to do some business!

Leakage of personal data? No. Laughably simple scam? Yes</htmltext>
