[cisco-voip] Masking 0800 Calls in UK

Has anyone else achieved this using BT?  Presentation number seems to be a number you setup with BT and they mask all calls with that number.  I need to have control over what I mask.

Thanks,

Tim Huffman

Incompetent telcos, how surprising. This certainly is possible, BT call
it "Presentation Number" and a number of companies in the UK do this.
I've read through some of the BT documentation before and there is a
requirement to verify ownership of the number but I can't find the
document I found before at the moment. If the ISDN30 is provided by a
company other than someone re-selling Openreach different conditions may
apply.
