blocking CLID

[coniglio]

rls. 25.40 option 61C: how can I block my office's telephone number from showing up on far-end's caller ID on a per-call basis? thanks.

There's a Flexible Feature Code for that in LD 57. CPP? For external calls, it should be *67 and the unblock should be *82. (For pulse-dial 1167 and 1182) For internal, I'm not exactly sure how you'd do it per call. Perhaps there's a feature for that as well?

My switch doesn't have an FFC block built. I'm going to try creating the FFC block and use *67 for CPP (I will check to make sure that's the right mnemonic). thanks, Archibald.

Okay, I built an FFC code *67 for CPP and dialed my cell phone from my office phone (of course, using *67 first) and my office's CLID still showed on my cell phone. I checked the other FFC mnemonics and none of them seem like they're for blocking my outbound caller ID. Any other suggestions? thanks.

is the co sending out your number or your switch?

good question. I never thought of that. I think the CO is, which I guess means I can't block it, right?
