Does this mean that o2 have released names and numbers to 118800 to do this and if so is this in the T&Cs that we agreed to?

You need to look at the website - http://www.118800.co.uk/ This is how it explains where they got the numbers from -

'Our mobile phone directory is made up from various sources. Generally it comes from companies who collect mobile telephone numbers from customers in the course of doing business and have been given permission by the customers to share those numbers.'


it tells you how they obtain your details and how to opt out
