Hi David
>1471 is 'caller withheld'.
No it's not, 1471 is to check number last calledm and also to use caller
return, service by pressing 3 while still connected to ad71
to withhold number: it's: 141 followed by the number you want to call.
This will prevent your number being available to the called party.
However, I have found that if one has the "Anonymous Call Reject" (ACR)
most junk calls seem to stop! This is more than likely because most of those
sales callers are withholding their numbers.
For the benefit of anyone not aware, The "Anonymous Call Reject" (ACR)
service (available from BT) enables one to block all calls from callers
that have 'withheld' their number whether through the service Permanent
Number Withhold or by dialling 141 before they have dialled number.
Those whose calls have been blocked will hear a voice announcement advising
them to redial without withholding their number. They are not charged for
the blocked call.
Where a caller has used the 141 code, they will need to redial the number
without using the '141' facility and those with 'Permanent Number Withhold'
will need to dial 1470 before they dial number.
>Ex directory means that your number doesn't appear in the telephone
>directory, it does however remain in the telephone listings.
Just to be more clear here.
One can choose to:
1. No listing in phone books directories but operator will give out number.
2. No listing in phone books directories and operator will not give out
number.
