bt 4600 phone

Please can anyone remind how to allow "withheld number" calls to be allowed in on my BT 4600. At present these calls do not ring and are shown as missed. I must have set this up ages ago, and I cannot remember how to cancel it.

Hi @jpadeutsch Thanks for posting, page 18 onwards in the BT 4600 user manual explains how to manage the call blocking settings.

Thanks

Neil

Thanks Neil. I think what must have happened is that the caller did not follow the instructions to identify himself and hung up instead, so it just got reported as a missed call without ever ringing on my handset. It is so long since I recveived that sort of call that I had totally forgotten how the phone dealt with it.

@jpadeutsch No problem, that sounds very plausible as callers are always asked to announce themselves when calling from a withheld number. If they don't and hang up the handset won't ring.

Thanks

Neil
