Anonymous caller rejection

[evandl100]

Hi
Can someone please tell what the codes are for rejecting/allowing anonymous callers. I have had this on my phone for ages and like my voicemail has just disappeared. I've called NTL (pick me up off the floor i got through straight away) and they told me that they didn't know the codes for IP postcode and so have to add it on at their end. I was supposed to receive a call back tonight to confirm this had been set up but you know the rest......
Thanks

*227# turns it on
#227# turns it off
*#227# checks the status

Thanks for the speedy reply, but with these codes I'm getting "number not recognised", or continuous tone. Does area make a difference, I live in an IP postcode?

Yes it can. Have you asked customer service to add the feature. It must be activated by customer service first.

It depends on the type of exchange as well. Those codes are for Nokia Exchanges.

They are used in the north west

Try 1478 to activate, 1479 to deactivate

No luck with these either. I guess that's another feature i'm going to have to wave goodbye to. Only about 2 months since i lost voicemail. And caller display, well i won't even begin...

Have you asked customer service if the feature is available in your area.

I thought all landline Telcos in the UK had to offer ACB by law/regulator?

To be honest I am not sure but I will find out tomorrow. I am an Engineer not Customer service. It might be that one of the customer service people will come along and let us know.

Unlikely - until recently not all exchanges would even be capable of it.

Correct

Just made a call and I am informed that not all Exchanges are capable of ACR and its not mandatory.

Good having your bosses home number

I think that ACR is mandatory if CLI is offered.

But in my case it has simply gone from my phone service. Previously, all i have had to do is enter a pin to block and another to unblock. I assume then that either it is available in my area, or has recently been withdrawn. But why?

And since it hasn't been active the telesales calls have started. Lovely
