CLIP

With CLIP (Caller Line Identification Presentation), your display panel on the phone shows the number of the caller on the screen, enabling you to identify the caller. This service is provided free of cost.
Here’s what you’ll see when you receive a call:
From a fixed line phone: (Area Code) (Phone number) e.g. 02322221
From another B-Mobile phone: + (country code) (B-Mobile Number) e.g. +97517113010
If the mobile number is stored on your handset or SIM, then you will see the name of the person calling you.
There may be occasions when the number of the incoming caller may not appear.
This happens because this service also depends on whether the caller id is passed on by the exchanges through which the call is routed. It could also occur when the calling party has enabled the CLIR feature.

CLIR

The CLIR (Caller Line Identification Restriction) feature can restrict your mobile number from being displayed on the receiver’s phone. You can keep your number confidential with this feature. To enable this feature you will have to subscribe to this product and then enable it from your handset.

This service enables you to speak to two callers, one at a time, without hanging up on either one of them. When this service is activated, the network notifies you of a incoming call while you have a call in progress.
