displayed when making outgoing calls. You are calling anonymously.
Prerequisites:
u For anonymous calls via your fixed line network connection you need to
have requested the relevant service (feature) from your fixed line network
provider.

that support the "anonymous calling" function. You may have to ask your
VoIP provider to activate this function.
