| Choose to Refuse Anomaly? |

| message from BJH on 27 Jun 2005 |
Hi
I had a 'silent call' this morning so as I subscribe to 'Choose to Refuse'
I thought I'd give it a go.
Dialling 1471 gave the number as 0161 xxx-xxxx
but,
Choose to refuse gave the number as 07778 xxxxxx
I wondered why I got two different numbers?

I had CTR a while ago, got an 0870 number on 1471 but an 01 number on CTR.

Difference between the electric number and a presentation number. Same
happens if the calling party CLI goes overseas - the presentation number
isn't sent (or isn't normally visible overseas).

The first is a presentation number, whereas the second is the real one.
Can't explain the OP's result (other than a fault) since presentation
numbers can't be premium and must be a number the caller can be called back
on (i.e. a [switchboard] landline or 0800/45/70)

My only thought would be someone with a Orange phone using "Local Number"
service where the mobile number is either a 020, 0121, 0151 or 0161 number,
I suppose that could be implimented as a presentation number over a 07778
mobile number used within the network management system (if it had been
ported from vodafone at some point)

No. Orange Local Insertion Numbers don't work like that. If the
subscriber has an 020 number, then that is the HANDSET'S REAL
NUMBER: there is no "presentation number" or "diversion" involved.

Pity if it was a friend, who got a bad circuit by accident. (one way mobile
calls are surprisingly frequent).
Choose to refuse gives you the numbers? - When did that start? IIRC BT
won't tell you what they are (mainly to avoid leakage on withheld).
