Yes, but it costs �4 per month.

The service is called 'Anonymous Call Reject'. Anyone who attempts to call you, while withholding their number, will hear a message stating that your number does not accept calls with the caller's number withheld.

If you're expecting a call from someone who's using a system which automatically withholds their number (e.g. from some government offices), you can temporarily switch off the feature by dialling #227# (To turn it on again, dial *227#).

I've got Anonymous Call Reject on my phone. Although I'd rather that it was free, I still think that it's worth the money.

To order the service, dial 0800 800 150.

It bemuses me that so many people withhold their telephone number and reject anonymous calls.

Having said that - I don't answer the phone unless I know the caller, and if they choose not to leave a message that is just bad luck.
