Private Numbers?

A long long time ago someone told me that if you entered a code via your mobile's keypad you could see the numbers of all those who call you, even if they use 141. Is this true? I have a Nokia 7250i.

    This is untrue.

    If you call from an automatically-witheld number, and you dial 1470 before dialling the number you are calling, the person you are calling will be able to see your number.

    Is this possibly what you heard?

    Alternatively, you can have a message put on your phone line restricting any witheld calls.
    Sometimes I feel like a pelican. Whichever way I turn, I've still got an enormous bill in front of me.
