So, no laws were broken, no crime was committed, it was just a setup issue.1. Have you tried to Google the answer?

You're right - you didn't.
It's a sad trend on here that some responders are more interested in who you can sue and what rights you might be able to claim, rather than how you can be helped.1. Have you tried to Google the answer?

Not at all; you're missed the point. Nobody suggested suing anyone, only that networks are obliged by law to provide such a facility. There have been threads on here before when networks have failed to provide the facility whereby even prefixing 141 caused the called party to see the caller's number.It's a sad trend on here that some responders are more interested in who you can sue and what rights you might be able to claim, rather than how you can be helped.0 -
NFH, the point was the OP hadn't set his phone up correctly.
Nothing wrong with the network, nothing that required a legal response. Your answer may be 100% correct, but it's not the answer to what the OP was asking, and as such you missed the point.1. Have you tried to Google the answer?

No, I didn't miss the point. I first suggested that the OP try dialling 141 instead and that if it still revealed the number to the called party, then the network would be in breach of the relevant legislation. Given that T-Mobile has had problems with this in the past, the second part was potentially relevant.Your answer may be 100% correct, but it's not the answer to what the OP was asking, and as such you missed the point.0
