Network Features Compatibility

Please contact BT Customer Services for details.

BT Choose to Refuse

Is a trademark of BT in the UK. A Touchtone telephone is required to operate the service.

Some International numbers cannot be barred as the full CLI is not usually available.

0800 numbers that are being used as presentation numbers can not be barred as the Choose to Refuse service acts upon the underlying network CLI

Anonymous Call Rejection

It must be clearly understood that Anonymous Call Rejection will prevent all calls getting through that have their number witheld, these may be bona fide calls which the customer may wish to receive but is prevented from doing so because the caller cannot release their number. This may also include calls from the Emergency Services.

Anonymous Call Rejection (Multi Line Groups)

Anonymous Call Rejection (Multi line Groups) is available to Business customers only. It is charged on a per Installation basis with one ACR being allowed per Installation. A survey has to be completed to determine the provision date.

Caller Redirect

This service provides an announcement informing callers of your new telephone number. It does not redirect the call.

Presentation Number

Presentation Number (PN) is available to Business customers only. It is charged on a per Installation basis with one PN being allowed per installation. These can only be ordered via the Presentation Number Service Centre, using the PN order form, which has to be signed by an authorised representative of the company requesting the service. The form, available from BT's web site, requires that the customer complies with legal requirements embodied in the Ofcom Code of Practice concerning the ownership and ability of the requested PN to receive calls. A PN must not be a number that connects to a revenue sharing number that generates an excessive or unexpected call charge. (NB the exploitation of a Presentation Number to generate revenue-sharing calls may constitute persistent misuse of an Electronic Communications Service and may result in the withdrawal of the service)

The BT Presentation Number Helpdesk on 0800 328 8883 can be contacted for further information.
