NETWORK ACTIVATED - BY CLI LINE BLOCKING

Service Description

This means that the customers CLI is automatically withheld (each time they dial out) without having to dial 141.

Additional Information

The implications of CLI Line Blocking are as follows:

Some people called may have made the decision not to answer calls from people withholding their telephone number, therefore some calls may not be answered, or because of the Calling Number Withheld Block Service, some calls may not get through.

Override of CLI Line Blocking

Kingston Communications also offers a line block override facility. This means that customers who have requested CLI Line Blocking will be able to override the block on a call by call basis if required.

To release your CLI on a call by call basis, dial 1470 before the number you are dialling and this will reveal your number to the called party (for that call only).

Example

A customer has had CLI Line Blocking activated on their ex-directory line. Because they know that their friend has a Caller Display unit and will not answer calls where the CLI is withheld, they decide for that particular call to reveal their CLI. By dialling 1470 before the telephone number, their friend will see their telephone number before answering the call.
