If the caller has silent number with Telstra or is ANYBODY with an OPTUS phone the number is not available via a CLI service. OPTUS numbers are not transmittted and are not even avilable to the *10# or *69 callback facilities. -- Wot's Your Real Problem? John G.

They may ||| well give the cops that info if say you get murdered etc. ||| |||| Back in the old days it would have taken too much computing |||| power to resequence all this data or to do the database inquiry |||| so this question never arose.
