The ACR (Anonymous Caller Reject) only stops callers who withold their numbers (i.e. dial 141 or have it turned-on by default) within the UK.

Calls from abroad with no ID and some calls from inside the UK are not stopped by ACR. Dialing 1471 after the call would give the message "we do not have the caller's number to return the call" rather than "the caller withheld the number".
