Default Rrivate numbers ,, can you stop them????

Can you stop people who withheald there number from calling you ??

I am getting more and more people who withheald there numbers calling and most just seem to be complete tossers who ask fucking stupid questions and always seem to mess me about
Why do people withheald there numbers ?? have they somthing to hide etc

Anyway , can i stop them from being able to call me

you cant physically stop them from calling you however if you get a phone with a digital display you can seen the number calling you, if its withheld all you do is let the answerphone deal with it and state on the answer phone message that you may not be available or the person may be calling from a withheld number in which case you do not answer

I thought if they tried to call it was possible to set up a system where they got a message saying " this phone does not accept private numbers "

Anyone know if this is true ?? I know when im getting calls on my mobile that are withheald but not my landline

Log on and register your number/s.

you need to re-register every 6mths or so to block out any new numbers which you inadvertantly subscribe to.

HTH?

I know there are many decent people who have private numbers for whatever reason , its just all the private numbers i answer seem to be total tossers

If they get a message saying i dont accept private numbers ,,if they are decent people with nothing to hide then i am shure they will call on another phone etc

as said you can get this service from bt to block withheld numbers and also i have a service called "choose to refuse" ie if a number calls you such as an ex that is a bunny boiler you simply dial a number enter your code and it gives you the option to block all calls from that number

paul if you dont accept witheld numbers anymore does this mean we can no longer have phone sex,, mines always withheld

i had a problem with funny calls a while ago, i phoned bt who my landline is with, and explained i didnt want to recieve calls from witheld numbers, and they did it all for me. but my my mams number is ex directory, and so is one of my best mates, so there numbers are always witheld, so they couldnt get through, and i think they had to put 1470# in before they dialed my number, and it showed there number.

Yes it is true as it happens to me everyday. My work mobile is set to not send out it's number (as I don't need customers ringing me up when they should be ringing my office) and a lot of times, usually at least one a day, I get that message about not accepting calls from private.withheld numbers...

Dunno how you do it tho!

My work calls, don't come up like private number. They say "call" and thats it, like a call would from abroad. Very odd.

But it means people always know its me thats ringing when they see that.

Not much help for you though Paul

that only comes from an internal network where there are more than 1 phone line, ie call centres or extensions of different numbers usually

This is the funniest post i have ever seen

Now my side of this very very funny story ,,,,,,,,

3 months ago You called at my workshop asking me if i had any RS turbos that need work as you wanted a project .

I replied ,,,,,NO,,,,,

You asked ,, What about that one ,, and pointed to the red one outside

I replied ,,Thants fooked mate ,, needs loads of welding etc etc , so im goint to break it as it has loads of good parts on it ,,ie

Fusion rollcage
17" alloys
Nice trim
Full 90spec spoilers / bumpers
s/steel exhaust
Chipped ecu
Coilover suspension
samco hoses
Plus lots of other good stuff

You replied " how bad is it "

I replied , " theres a jack , go and look round it , and chucked you the keys and the jack and left you and your mate to it

You then after aprox 45mins , came in and said , " i can fix that , and its worth fixing as the bodywork is very very good and runs so well and has loads of good bits

I said well if you want it i will sell it to you for what it will break for Ł1400

You said you wanted it

A few days later you came and looked round it AGAIN, And said you wanted it

You came into my office with the money and said you will have it

I replied ,,This is sold as seen as SPARES OR REPAIRES , ( with no MOT OR TAX )

You said thats fine as you wanted a project and you and you mate had looked over it and could fix it ,

Before i took your money the last thing i said to you was ,, " if you buy it thats it , dont moan to me if you start to strip it and find its worse than you thought as all cars like this usually ARE ,

You said That was fine

I also told you if you bought it and didnt finish it i WOULDNT BUY IT BACK
As i was collecting more cossies and didnt have room for it

You agreed and handed over your money

A few weeks later you came back into my workshop moaning it wanted more welding than you thought and wanted your money back

I told you i didnt have space for it ( as you could see ) and i told you when you bought it i wouldnt buy it back ,

You had also SOLD the 17" alloys that it had on when you bought it

I then agreed i would buy it back to help you WHEN I HAD THE SPACE ,

this is the last i heard from you until this post

well now you can get stuffed as posting this has just shown why i should never deal with skint idiots like you

thing is paul the way you wrote it you could visualise you doing exactly what you wrote, warning the guy that it might not be as good as HE thinks it is,
Basicly he made the error thinking it was an easy repair all you did was try to advise him that it might not be that straight forward.

no doubt you see this sort of thing quite a lot!
