Bypass virgin anonymous call rejection

mackemdave

Anyone help.My brother,who i have never spoken to for years,has a virgin landline which must have some sort of anonymous call barring set.My mum has a BT landline which is set to with hold her number when she makes calls.she tells me that she has to put in a set of numbers before ringing my brothers landline.....she has lost the bit of paper with these numbers on it...Is this set of numbers unique to my brothers land line or is it universal...I suspect it will probably be unique but thought I would ask here

custardy

has she tried 1471?
I believe VMs system blocks withheld numbers vs those where the network isnt broadcasting it

edit: googling around it appears 1470 works

jhp

If she has her number permanently withheld, she can use 1470 to enable her number to be released on a call-by-call basis. She simply dial,s '1470' before making a call.

Have you got CLI on your line.Get her to call you dialling with and without the 1470 to prove it will present number fully.

The call barring can be turned off. See page 10 of http://store.virginmedia.com/content/dam/eSales/Downloads/PhoneUserGuideUpdateOnlineOct12.pdf

The problem is almost certainly with your mother. By default, her line is set to dial out with number withheld. As jhp says, she needs to enable this for the call with 1470 as the prefix.

It really is not a case of bypassing anonymous call rejection, it is a case of not making the call anonymously.
