Unfortunately not. There is no phone number information for whatever service you use to identify
We have the same issue with our booking office. We get legitimate calls from customers with private numbers and also from scammers  2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

I had a series of malicious calls where the caller withheld their ID, I rang my phone provider at the time it was BT and they managed to block it because they could ID the number whereas I couldn’t maybe worth a call to your phone provider, of you can remember the time of the call they should be able to look back for you

As we tend to get them from different callers we haven't persued it. As Simon has done it might be worth a call to BT if they are your provider
We were with Virgin for a while - they were no help with no caller ID calls, there policy was: you either receive them or have them blocked by Virgin with nothing in between. I suppose they are a service provider rather than the infrastructure and exchange provider. BT must have more access to individual call data than anyone else 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

Your network operator CAN do it, but that doesn't mean that they WILL do it (and it may be that the customer support bods you get to speak to won't know that it is technically possible).
The fact that no presentation number appears at your phone does not mean that there is no originating number information within the network. |

We joined BT 1572 which blocked 95% of these rubbish calls. Saying that, 4 slipped the net yesterday, and they don’t block no caller ID. This is just as well because the hospital and Doctors surgery all block their numbers, and I do need to receive these calls.

If I drove a bloke to Brendan's front door and sat there whist he defrauded Brendan of his hard earned Yorkshire Dosh (can not imagine that would happen) then I would be prosecuted, so why are BT, Vodafone, Virgin, EE etc being dragged through the courts as they deliver the fraud. A simple change in law and big fines for telecoms companies will soon end this problem. They know who the crooks are.
Same applies to internet service providers and Social media companies, they deliver the filth, bullying and fraud and are responsible they should all be stood in front of a judge paying £Millions in fines that could fund the Youth Mental Health service in this country because they are all participating in harming of our youth whist pocketing millions in profits! 130 Puma HCPU with an Artica 240LR Demountable Camper |

Leeds you can as the recipient block all numbers that are withheld, if the caller is genuine than they will not object to putting in a specific code that will release the number to you. I have to do it most days as my number is withheld. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to  us off.

RFT, I agree entirely with what you say but, if the Guy you were going to drive to Brendan's place went by Train, Bus or Taxi, would you hold the Train Driver / Bus Driver / Taxi Driver or their respective companies to court as being an accessory to the crime? It's the same argument which Facebook and the like are having. There was a lot in the news a couple of weeks ago about the young girl viewing self harm stuff on Instagram. I'm sure the likes of BT and the rest could do a hell of a lot more than what they do. |

Another alternative is to get a VOIP number. You're calls go over your broadband connection, but for anyone calling in, there's no different. I use sipgate. It's free for receiving and no reason you can't just use the existing number for outgoing.
I've found that none of my VOIP numbers (I have 3) receive any spam calls, but my supposedly off-directory landline receives plenty. They just go to answermachine. Given that you can get free VOIP numbers, it's easy enough to reserve one for family and friends and use another for shopping etc. Other advantage is that you can then receive the VOIP calls on your mobile. Downside is changing the number your friends and family call you on. |

Worth trying BT 'Call Guardian' service. We signed up a couple of years ago and get absolutely zero spam calls.
Caller has to announce who they are and you choose to accept or reject. If it's an automated call they can't say who they are, so call gets rejected. Satisfying to look at call logs on phone and see how many have tried to ring you and failed! 2014 110 XS Utility 2017 D5 2012 FFRR TDV8 |
