Today I have received the message from one site trying to sell 30 Crore mobile number database pack at just Rs 2999 which amounts to just Rs 0.00001 per number.Here is what the SMS reads-

Further research online shows that many other sites are selling mobile number database and infact they are using adwords to publicize it.
The site basically allows you to send free SMS to your friends and they are collecting all the phone numbers and selling it online.
I want to say that most of us haven’t registered for any of the websites probably some of our friends did, so we are not bound to any of their TOC and they can’t sell our phone numbers, some action should be taken against such sites selling database as they interfere in the privacy of subscribers.
