'Private Number' Yikes!

I am exactly the same, although my phone now tells me it’s clatterbridge ringing me lol x 

Yes!   You know you have to answer it! X

Always Harebelle, always. I've got a few numbers named (but unknown numbers ) but the medical staff always confuse me by using other ones too! X

I know the feeling x

Mine has always shown it’s the QE hospital 

I never answer withheld numbers though

Our phone asks the call to state their name and purpose of call before ring us this gives us the option to reject, accept once, accept always, keeps the rubbish away 

Yeah, but you know you want to know, really!  Or sometimes mine is the oncologist wanting to do a F2F appt over the phone.  

The numbers are sometimes the STD code where my onco is based, or 0800 or very occasionally it's "private number".  This is strange because my onco tells me it will come through as "private number".  As he's not a telephony technology guru I just accept he's talking rubbish (on this occasion) lol

They make sure they never phone you on a mobile though huh

Hi Mmum, so true, a bit like GP they text you to ring them, as they have our number why not ring us first, just passing the cost on to the patient's, who will be 15 in the Q.

So true

Very annoying when you get private numbers I tend to block them but if it's medical its usually 08000
