How To Cancel / Remove a Permanent Number Witheld.

Hi,

I have "Number Withheld" permanently activated on my PN phone line, but I'd like to remove it.

I know I can use a 1470 prefix to make my number 'visible' on a call by call basis, but I want to make the number 'visible' for every call without the hassle of keying 1470 before every number I dial.

Is there any way to achieve this please?

All information / advice / answers gratefully received.

Fix

I have got this changed adjusted for you now. This will take up to 24 hours to go through, and now you can withhold your number by putting 1470 at the start of a number.

I think @deank means 141.

Re: How To Cancel / Remove a Permanent Number Witheld.

Recently my number has starting being withheld all the time so is being ignored by lots of friends and family when I ring them. Doing 1470 before calling doesn' work either. Have rang plus net a couple of times but they can' seem to fix the problem for me. Very frustrating. At one point I couldn't even ring out! Anyone else had this problem?

Hi @masonmg

 

Thanks for getting in touch. It's odd that this has suddenly started to occur and I apologise for what is probably a frustrating situation.

 

We can change this for you via our supplier - we'd just need you to give our Customer Services team a call on 0800 328 4620 so that we can run through security and amend the settings on your line.

 

Best wishes,

 

Dave

Hi @masonmg I've had a look into this and I can see that number withhold isn't on active on your line anymore. Are you still experiencing the same problem?

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.

I'm new to this forum and have had my number withheld for years and would now also like to remove this block so that my number shows on all calls. The thread says fixed but I can't see how. Please help.
