Anonymous call
The Anonymous call function enables the caller to make a call without revealing their subscriber number to the person being called. They can choose to do this or not, for each individual call.
* Note: Anonymous calls are not possible with some VoIP providers. If you intend to use this function, first ask your provider if this service attribute is supported. This function can only be used on one of the PBX's land line connections if the CLIR (case-by-case restriction of calling line identification) service feature has been requested from, and activated by, the network provider.
Requirement for use
The CLIR (suppression of subscriber number display per call) service feature has been enabled by the network operator.
