AIUI you can bar foreign numbers and undisclosed numbers (sometimes at a price). Just missed what must have been an automated SPAM call.
1471 revealed "The last number was 01234567890" So either someone has the ultimate killer telephone number or this is just another sneaky attempt to get past call barring.Cheers

Last I looked, Bedford 567890 was being "reserved" by OFCOM
If you feel like checking, it ought be be within
The most sneaky one is to spoof your own number as the CLI!
That'll be NU. There are no Bedford numbers beginning with a '5'.
Have you thought about buying a truecall unit?

Not thought about call screening hardware as the level of calls is manageable without.
Then again, new toys........
Their website has quite a few spellink errrors on it though I notice.

FYI The number 0123456789 was an electronics supply company in London during the
80's/90's they waited 8mths for it to become available. Can't remember their name but they always had a full page add in Practical Wireless/Electronics etc. CJAIUI you can bar foreign numbers and undisclosed numbers (sometimes at a price). Just missed what must have been an automated SPAM call.

01 234 5678
There are no more digits with an 01 number, so where does the 9 come in?
Also 071 and 081 replaced 01 during 1990
It doesn't matter the exchnages would ignore it and connect to 01 234
5678 anyway.The 80's came before 1990. B-)
From my point of view,I agree. But our GP surgery insists on making calls without a presentation number. They seem scared that people knowing it is them compromises privacy (or something like that).
If they have a valid case, how do you handle it?
I would prefer a mechanism (which I have suggested before) that upon getting a spam call, you dial a special number which automatically reports the call. This would allow the experiences of everyone to be merged - and would be able to collect information from the system itself as to the sources.
Yes, I know, but but who had 01 234 5678
But the OP did say 80's/90's and 01 was only around for about three or four months in the 90's
Who was the company that got this 'golden number' ?
That's for the individuals concerned to resolve
The mandate to make ACR available is to make it available as an opt in, not enable it automatically at the exchange for all subs. If you chose not to receive calls from your doctor that's your problem.
As to banning fake IDs, that's just rhetoric. It's unenforceable by the Telco [1] (except by threatening to terminate the contracts of people who are caught doing it).
