Permanently withold number

Hi, 

 

I believe I requested that my number be witheld when signing up to Plusnet, but this doesn't appear to have been done - speaking to a customer service rep via online chat I was told that it wasn't possible to permanently withold my number, could only do it by dialling 141 or whatever before each call, however having read a message on the forum it appears that this is incorrect.

Is it possible to permanently withold my number please?

 

Many Thanks

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Generally we don't offer number withheld as a feature, however I cannot see any reason why we can't just offer this to you at a wholesale level. I'll get an order placed for you, and I'd recommend checking your line in 24 hours.

Re: Permanently withold number

Hi @Powell40,

 

Although this isn't really a feature we actively offer (You can't add it via the member centre as you can with other call features) if you do sign up with and drop us a message here on the forums we can arrange to get this sorted for you.

 

I hope this helps.

Re: Permanently withold number

Hello, please can you also do this for me, I thought my number would transfer over and still be withheld. Many thanks
