Some fifteen years ago I had a box which filtered out
WITHHELD calls and sent them to an announce machine, which
asked callers either to phone my mobile (number stated) or
to redial using the 1470 prefix.

Back then there was no requirement on junk callers to
present valid CLI, so most of them did present WITHHELD; and
also I received far fewer valid calls that presented
WITHHELD.

Interestingly, a lot of the cold callers then were people
trying to sell advertising that I did not want - it was very
effective at stopping them too.
