Private numbers and suppressing caller ID

Our man in Havana · 2010-05-12 15:01:15

I has an ex directory number which has caller ID suppressed by default. I have been told that if you call any 1800, 1850, 1890 or 0818 numbers your caller ID is passed regardless of your default settings. I don't want these numbers seeing my caller ID. Is this true?

Quite possibly yes... Ex directory does not mean unseen to all...
