Landline number Witholding

iBot · 12 Feb 2006 at 18:57

Hi, I get my phone from bt and by default my number is withheld.

However I am trying to ring someone and they dont accept withheld numbers.

Is there anyway to unwithold my number for this 1 call? The bt error message implies it's possible but doesnt give any details.

Dial 1470 before the number

There sure is.

Prefix the number you want to dial with 1470.

This will send your outgoing CLI for that call only.

Cool thanks

What does cli stand for?

Also does anyone have a list of all the other bt prefixes like call diverting and barring incoming/outgoing calls?

caller line identification or some tosh

It's quite old but I think most of it is still valid... http://www.faqs.org/faqs/uk-telecom/network-services/

I thought it was 141 to unblock your number?
