Unless I am calling a friend I allways use 141 to withhold my number.
Rang some one (Buisiness number)today who casusually asked if I wanted to use the number I rang on as my main contact number, to which I replied that I dont give out my home number as its ex directory for a reason and they casually read me out the number that I had rung them on.
I checked that I had used 141, then rang my mobile with 141 in front and confirmed to myself that it worked as my mobile said private number.
Rang BT151 and ended up going round in circles with a female indian operative, then the same with her indian boss, who neither of them could give a reply to a simple question.
Finally got put through to the UK and spoke to a "Geordie" lad who went and did a proper check with his manager and went through thier terms and conditions to find me any helpfull information.
It seems that the 141 system should work in all cases except on the numbers starting with the numbers posted below.
Sadly they cant help me on where I can report this company to as I feel they have invaded my privacy and am far from happy about it.
Numbers starting with
999
112
100
155
198
0800 Reverse
have the facility to show the number of the caller.
Does anyone know where I can report this company to. (Makes me wonder how information is gained and then sold on to cold callers, maybe this is part of the reason. )
TIA
