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

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#

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. 

#31# then the number you’re calling in one go *will* work. It has to. It’s a GSM specification.

For example: #31#07123456789 <SEND>

I use Thee. I've just tried #31# to call my landline, and it works fine. The call showed up as withheld.

You have to type in #31# just before typing in the number you want to call. So, if the number to call is 01234567890, then you should type #31#01234567890.

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).

Doesn't work unfortunately. 

As in my post above, it does work. Worked fine for me five minutes ago on Three.

three are not allowed to do this, 141 is a ofcom requirement.

Do you have a source for that? Who would I report this to? I'm still having issues and getting nowhere with anyone about it. 

Outgoing message says 'hide ID is not available through 141, please use your handset menu options'. And, yet I can't do this with my device or 2 other devices I've tried. Three are no help.

I’m on SMARTY and I can turn off show my caller id via the menu system. So, it doesn’t extend to MVNO’s.

You have been supplied with the answer to this. It works on Three, you just have to prepend #31# to the number you're calling.

Just tried, yet again, a minute ago, and my mobile call came out as withheld on my landline phone.
