Permanent Number Withhold

Hello

I have been informed by customer support that it is not possible to permanently withold my number from the person I am calling. They advise that dialling 141 is the only way to do this. 

However according to this thread https://community.plus.net/t5/Home-Phone/Number-Withheld-request/m-p/1648083#M29184 it is available by special request.

Could I then please make a special request for this feature.

 

many thanks, Neil Bhaduri

@nbpncommunity   Welcome to the forum.  🙂

 

As you'll have seen from the thread you referenced, it can be an uphill battle to even get across to Plusnet what it is that you require.

Hopefully one of the more experienced on the Help Team will pick this up and get the service applied.

Don't forget to specify which version you want - either with or without 1470 override.

Re: Permanent Number Withhold

@nbpncommunity In the current situation, you've done the best thing in bringing your request to the forum.

It may take a while to be noticed, as there are a lot of customers with no service at all, and that will surely get worse with all the high winds.

Hang in there, and good luck.  fingers.gif

Thanks for getting in touch Neil

I've placed an order with our suppliers to withhold your number with override which should be active within 24 hours. Smiley

Let us know if there's anything else you'd need help with.
