In a new sticky, DaveM had suggested withholding one's number when dialling a geo alternative, by prefixing it with 141, to hide the fact that you are dialling from within the UK.

So if you are also dialling a carrier prefix, e.g. 1899, what sequence do you dial them in? Is it:

1899 141 0xxxx xxxxxx  ?

VoB?  Voice over Broadband?
You mean it would still show a UK number even after prefixing it 141? 

Ah hah!  I understand now.   

My number is witheld all the time, but A&L still seem to know I am not calling from abroad!

My apologies to all concerned.

In a bid to help prevent the continuing flow of numbers coming in to the Unverified list, I just wanted to remind everyone that putting 141 before the Geographical alternative would block their own number (if it was not already blocked by their provider).

I hope this additional discussion goes some way to highlighting the continuing problem and alleviating others such as how to use it when utilising an alternate cariier such as 1899.
