I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that you always send your CID when 
you make a phone call. If you choose to withhold the ID, it still gets 
sent, it just gets sent with a 'do not disclose' flag set, which all (BT 
approved) phones and services (like 1471) must honour. Therefore it should 
be easy for BT themselves to offer something that can bar CID witheld 
calls.

But this might be wrong, or might just be how the US system works or 
something.
