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.

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.
