    There may of course still be that option within your house phone.


    Bog standard phone, no such option.

    I would have thought my OP would have suggested this by my reference to phone and BB contract, but I am talking landline, I never mentioned mobile phones.

    Apologies, saw EE and presumed it was a mobile. Didn't realise they did landlines!

    Your only option is to store your contacts with 141 in front of them and dial 141 when dialling a number. It's an extra 3 keys, it's hardly an inconvenience.

    My point is, why are EE doing this and why won't they give me an explanation.

    See post 5 para 2.

    Who knows but you should be asking EE that.

    Lol I bet if you ask again you will get a different reply.

    Yep, asked 3 different agents, including a manager, and none of them can/will give me a straight answer as to why they won't allow withhold number but will allow 141 which is the same thing.
