Do you mean the phone number doesn't show up either? Unpublished keeps a number out of the phonebook, unlisted keeps it out of 411. Hiding a number on an outbound call is something else. » support.brighthouse.com/ ··· er-8765/» support.brighthouse.com/ ··· Id-2328/ |

This for starters... » www.fcc.gov/guides/calle ··· spoofingCall recipients have the right to know your number is being blocked or private. This gives them the ability to prevent calls of this nature from reaching them if they so desire. |

Call recipients have the right to know your number is being blocked or private. This gives them the ability to prevent calls of this nature from reaching them if they so desire. Now if the Truth in caller ID act would be enforced... I get spoofed caller IDs frequently. |

That's too bad. The phone company allows your number to be unlisted and unpublished for a fee, but when you call someone they will allow your number to appear on there caller ID. BH says they will let your number show up but then I would have to allow listed but I can keep unpublished and it costs $1.99 to do this. This doesn't make sense. All I want instead of having to dial *82 to have my number displayed. Why can't BH allow your number to be displayed and keep unlisted and unpublished? If you try calling a person who has private caller blocking enabled then I can't complete the call unless I dial *82 first. A bit of a nuisance to have to dial *82 each time. All I really want is unlisted and unpublished. I don't care if my number shows up on someone caller id. Why do they make this so complicated? ATT (yuck) allows you to do this why can't BH? |

I am not sure that is the case (meaning we do the same thing they do from that perspective) but will check. |

Apparently it can be done. I just got off the phone with Tier 3 support. They said leaving your number private and changing the way your caller id shows up are 2 separate things and not just one feature.
If you find out differently please let me know.
Thanks. |

Been getting tired of the spoofing on the Caller ID but guess there is no way to block those? |
