hello its 141 from a land line. and hash 31 hash from a mobile. but from Vodafone and o2 it does not work anymore from meteor it does work. i think they stopped it because of phone call bullying and so on. anyway i agree. if you cant show your number why ring someone. regards Vincent From: albert brown Sent: Friday, July 23, 2010 2:32 PM To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] Re: Mobile Corner Hello Eleanor, to block a landline number the prefix is 141, to block a mobile number it is hash31hash followed by the mobile number you are calling.

Is there anything similar here in Ireland? I have tried this 141 prefix but it did not work here. Eleanor
