Mobile carrier / service provider that lets customer disable caller ID from their own device?

Three mobile have updated their policy and no longer allow customers to disable their own caller ID without customer asking permission from Three each time you want to place a call with caller ID disabled. https://community.three.co.uk/t5/Network/Toggling-caller-id-on-and-off/td-p/9813

Which mobile phone carriers / service providers allow you to make this decision from your device that have good reception and coverage? 

Three has been consistently getting worse, with repeated dropping reception in London. I'd like both the ability to control the use of my own device caller ID and have good reception. 

Thanks

Does 141 not work from mobile phones?

Re: reception/coverage - depends where you live.

No, 141 doesn't work from mobile phones. I have no landline. Thanks though.

From what I can see, 141 works on two networks at least, EE and O2, and perhaps on the rest too

Besides that, somewhere in the phone settings, including my Android, you may be able to find the facility to hide or show your number, or network default

Edit: or on a call by call basis, try prefixing the dialled number with #31#

On my Android currently with Talkmobile, I can disable/enable own number sending from the phone app /settings/calling accounts/advanced settings/callerID - this terminology doesn't feel right but confusingly this does give me  the option to hide/show my own number in outgoing calls

This is the way I used when I needed to disable Caller ID when on Three. Worked fine at the time (about two years ago).

It doesn't work on Three. If you read the link I posted it says: you need to contact the provider (Three) if you want to change the setting, each and every time. On iphone, can't toggle the option because they removed it. I spoke with them and they've said they've removed the option across all devices. It's no longer an available option if you use Three mobile. 

#31# -  doesn't work. Instead you receive a message saying 'setting succeeded calling line ID restriction'. 

Three have removed this option. 

I'm asking what other providers allow customers to disable caller ID from their own device. I'm not keen on O2 (they're useless with customer service), I'll take a look at EE. Thanks.

Thanks very much, appreciate that. This is what I'm looking for. Providers that actually allow customers the option. Much appreciated.
