I'm not sure how accurate this is. The UK job centre 0800 number definitely gets the CLID when phoned, and they are not a telco.

I got the idea from somewhere - I think it was sales info for 08xx services - that 08xx number callees get the CLID even if the caller precededs the 08xx number with 141 (from a BT land line).

I tested this. I rang my mobile from my BT land line preceding the number with 141, and it said "withheld", as expected. I then called the job centre on 0800 055 6688, preceded with 141. When the guy at the JC wanted my contact number, I said it was the number I was calling from. He had the number right there, so it can't have been withheld as I expected.

If the JC can do this, who else can? And does it apply to other 08xx numbers, like 0845 or 0871?
