Hi,

When I call my landline from my O2 mobile, it shows my number as 'external call' half the time, and the other half of the time it does show my number.

 

I want my number to always show when I call people. I use iphone and I have it set to 'Show Caller ID'.

 

How can I 'force' always showing my caller ID, what is the code to do this?  I know that the reverse code to hide caller ID is 141.

 

Thanks!

Thanks Bambino - yes, I know about 141 as I said in my 1st post. I'll try calling O2 again.

As already mentioned, 1471 is the code to show your number.

However, there are some known problems with O2 and caller ID and I'm not sure they know why.

Log the issue with O2 when you speak to them and ask for it to be escalated to the tech team.

Social media might be the easiest for you over the bank holiday as hours and staff will be restricted.
