Calling Features

Description
|
|
Number Withhold (141)
|
Want to withhold your phone number? Just dial 141 followed by the number you’re calling. That way, when you make a call, it won't display your number or reveal it if the person uses Last Number Recall.
|
|
Permanent Number Withhold (1470)
|
Keeps your number private - every time you make a call. Ask our customer care team to set it up for you (even if you're ex-directory). If you do want to leave your number, dial 1470 before you make the call.
|
|
Free Voicemail
|
Most Virgin Phone customers have a voicemail service. And, the best thing is. – it’s free! It's easy to set it up. Just give us a call. For contact details, click here

|
CLI erasure
|
Want to conceal the number of your last incoming call? Just use CLI erasure. Dial 1475 and when you hear a short tone, hang up. If your own number is withheld, dial 1470 before dialling 1475. You'll get a call back within a minute. Pick up, dial 1471 and you'll find that the number that called has been replaced by ''number withheld'.

Is your phone compatible?
Before enabling call features, just follow these few steps to make sure you’re ready to go:
- It needs to be to a touch tone phone to get our calling features.
- Has it got the *, # and Recall (R) buttons? You’ll need these too.
- If your phone can switch between tone and pulse dialling, set it to MF or DTMF or Tone.
- You’ll also need to make sure it’s set to Time Break Recall (TBR).
Not sure where these buttons are? Have a look on the bottom or side of the phone’s base, or look through the manufacturer’s manual that came with your phone.
