Is it reliable?
With BT, when presented by the caller the telephone number is
displayed. If the number is withheld then 'Withheld' is displayed.
Most junk calls that I get now come from aboard and the display just
shows 'International'.

For me that's quite useful. If I get an international call displayed on
the unit, I pick up the handset and *wait* until the other caller
speaks before making any sound.


I let the answerphone respond to these 'international' calls.
Unfortunately these *******s have a habit of using an automated message
to fill up the message space in the answerphone. I've recently had six
calls in the space of half an hour all leaving a two minute repeating
message ' Congratulations you have won ..............just phone this
(premium rate?) number to claim your prize"
