Withholding your number
As standard, your phone number is transmitted as part of
every call that you make and can be read by other mobile
phone users and certain landline phones. If you don’t
want your network to do this, you can withhold your
number.

capable of displaying incoming numbers, the fact that
you have withheld your number will be indicated to the
