Withheld Numbers?

[wizard]

At work our outbound calls all go out as withheld but obviously some people put bars on the phone so they cant accept withheld calls.

My question is, what is the code we put in before dialling the number so the other phone will accept calls? (obviously our number will be shown).

141

141 is used to withhold a number. 1470 is used to show a number BUT this may not work for phones within a company which has decided to withhold numbers for outbound calls.

The number i use is 1470 then the number you want to call and your number should showup on callers display so they will accept

Tried doing the 1470 and it still appears as "Private number" (in this case on the mobile phone).

I wonder if it will be any different with a landline?

I know the 1470 works on a landline number but don't know about mobiles

You cannot withold a number when calling from Mobiles - on normal land lines its as well to check with your providor the number to prefix to withhold your number from receivers is 141 or 147 - you can set this also as a permanent feature to withold number from ALL calls.

You CAN withold your number if dialling from a mobile. You simply prefix with 141 just like you do with a land line. I do it regularly.
