Private Numbers | Reasons

[prateek]

I want to activate Caller Line Identification Restriction (CLIR ) service on my Mobile number, I contacted my Mobile Operator and they told to get approval from local police station for this,
That means whenever I call someone they will see as Private Number in their screen

now I am sure police officers will surely be asking the reason for activating this service
So i will be pleased if anyone of you can tell me few good reasons so that my request doesn't gets denied


Thanks

Well why do you need this ?

if you don't have a valid reason for having it then do you really need it

No, Nothing like, police will obviously say NO besides OP is not a Govt. Minister to ask for such privileges.

BTW why do you need such a thing @OP!

actually my sister is getting calls from many different numbers disturbing her all the tme

she had changed the number more than 3 , 4 times but still having the same problem .

so i want a private number for her


when i complained in police they told they don't have access to the records of mobile numbers so we cna't do anyhting ..

Ok, Then you can give the same reason to the Police, say its for privacy and protect from harassment!

[prateek]

any other reasons supporting ??
