ex-directory

[#1]

Does it cost anything to go exdirectory and how do I go about it?

[#2]

No, and just ask.
For accountability, we'd like you to raise a ticket on your account though. With a request like this we'd remove you from the directory as well as online directories (118 etc), though it can take time for third parties to remove your details.

Curious I'll be joining PN in the next few weeks - will I automatically be ex-directory as I am currently or do I need to request and if so how would I go about that?

[#4]

you should automatically remain ex directory

Hi, Oldjim is correct, you automatically remain ex-directory.  If you would like confirmation of this when your account activates just follow what Chris mentioned earlier. All you need to do it raise a ticket on the account.
