Is your smartphone telling every website you visit your telephone number?

O2 mobile users in the UK are venting on Twitter today, fuming at their
discovery that their phone number is being shared with every website
that they visit over the network.

So, the big question is are other mobile networks - including those in
other countries - also doing this?

If you want to know if your smartphone is revealing your phone number
when you browse websites, you can test for yourself by visiting this
demo page by Collin Mulliner: www.mulliner.org/pc.cgi

If it comes up green, you're all clear. But if you see red, well.. maybe
you'll be seeing red with your mobile phone operator too.

(Remember, you have to turn off WiFi before you test. That way, your
phone is forced to use your mobile phone network for the connection.)

Good job I didn't steal it then!

It's 'open source' here on Usenet!

OK - I'll admit to "fail to tell the 'whole truth and nothing but the
truth' by omission."

I've been more than fair to you, S*******. If you really don't wish to
start afresh in 2012 then be prepared for pain - *real* pain! Your call.
