Is there a rational explanation why UK 'anonymous' isn't the same as 'non-UK anonymous'? I mean, FFS, they're both effectively the same thing and whatever drives the 1471 system KNOW it didn't know the number.
AFAIK, there is no such thing as non-UK anonymous. As Altis quoted:

With ACR, any call that has a Caller ID of "WITHHELD" is automatically ignored. Calls that present as "UNAVAILABLE", "INTERNATIONAL", "PAYPHONE" or whatever are allowed through.
Only UK sourced calls can be "WITHHELD" and only these are blocked by ACR.
