    Quite often office calls are withheld, something to do with what PBX they are using. Think something to do with internal lines not having CLI so if an office bod calls and CLI is on then it is the main PBX number that is given out and this is usually not the number to call the right person back on. Hence it is often with held.

    when an agent calls you it always comes up 'caller information withheld' basically they are callin you off a number that you cant return the call.

    He means, number withheld so you don't know who is calling you.

    It is annoying but it's not just agents. It seems to be anybody calling from an office network where there's more than about 3 phones.

    A couple don't, but usually they do.

    I always assume that if it's withheld, then it's a pimp.
