Could/would O provide me with the ID of a hidden caller?

[Guest mike-oh]

.....

I fear they would just give me all this data protection act shpiel but surely i have the right to know who's calling me. If they know my details I should be able to know theirs.

What's got me miffed is that i got a call at 3:25 this morning!! I have me suspicions as to which A*** it could be but i'd like confirmation.

Cheers,

Mike

In general no, but if you're getting abusive or nuisance calls then they should be able to do something.

[Guest Ras]

Oftel may be a good idea??? Failing that, the Police :shock: if you're calls are frequent and obviously newsence, they will be able to track!

[Guest Coucou]

I'd go to O before the police, they may be able to simply block the caller. Only involve the police if it's seriously affecting your life. :)

[Guest Pulse]

I'm sure they are able to do something for nuisance calls. I think they can even block the number calling you.

[Guest mike-oh]

It's not bad enough to warrant the police yet!!

I'd just like to know if it's possible for me to ring up O and say 'i got a nuisance call at 3.25 this morn and the caller with held their id, can you tell me the number please?'

will they do this or not? i doubt it but i would like to know either way.

Why agonise about it? Give them a ring, tell them it's a nuisance caller, even if only an isolated incident, ask them if you can have the info. They might say no or yes, you won't know till you call them! If they say no get them to note it on your account though so if it happens again you've got a good case.

[Guest mike-oh]

Yeah good point!

But most of my calls to O usually end up with me being peed off at the end of it! :)

I'm just wonderin if anyone on here has had a similar experience, and how they dealt with it.

I doubt they will tell you the number, but they sure as hell can block it.

[Guest Mr Orange]

Did the Display say 'Private' or 'Unknown' ? If its Private the number has been deliberately withheld if it's 'unknown' then the number wasn't passed to Orange.

[Guest mike-oh]

Good question, you tend not to notice those subtleties at that time in the morning!

I'm on an mpx200 and if i remember rightly the exterior display said different to when i opened it.

i seem to remember it saying private somewhere tho, but like i said i didn't notice/remember really.

i had been getting a lot of signal ring phone calls, annoying but not to serious. so i phoned O, they said they could do nothing unless the phone calls were abusive/ threatening.

believe they will allow you to change you no for free if it continues, but thats a bit extreme

[Guest mike-oh]

Right....no surprise that they wouldn't tell me the number :lol: and she was quite adamant that they wouldn't do that.

They did say however i could change my number but that would cost £10!!!

So i got them to make a note on my account that i had received a nuisance call.

DOH! I'd like to know which A.H. disturbed my goodnights sleep.

PS i think the CS rep must've been using an e200, the call quality was rubbish :lol: (let the flaming begin :))
