caller line identity

[lisa2026]

I want to restrict the caller line identity on my home phone so that when i call it does not display my number (for business purposes - nothing untoward).

When i called Virgin they were only able to give me a 141 prefix. Is this right as surely if you can restrict on other services you can on Virgin.

if anyone can advise that would be great - also, I called my mobile from the home phone to check the 141 thing and it would not work, is this because it is a land to mobile call?

Cheers

Found this.
Number Withhold (141)
Want to withhold your phone number? Just dial 141 followed by the number. That way, when you make a call, it won't display your number or reveal it if the person uses Last Number Recall.


Permanent Number Withhold (1470)
Keeps your number private - every time you make a call. Ask our customer care team to set it up for you (even if you're ex-directory). If you do want to leave your number, dial 1470 before you make the call.
