If you use your mobile to browse the web or to visit forums – O2 send your mobile number in your Browsers ‘agent user’. And its in Plain Text.
So , you may not have been very ‘anonymous’ when you visited that shopping website or posted that response on the chat forum using an anonymous nickname.

Another blow for privacy! – I can smell lawsuits galore in the mobile air….
