Eircom 1471 - Caller Identification

dewsbury · 2008-02-07 22:06:56

If you miss an eircom call you can find the number of the caller by dialling 1471. However, this very rarely works for me - perhaps 5% of the time. Usually it speaks a message "Number unavailable" Why is this? It is not because people are with holding their number because it happens 95% of the time. Any ideas?
