Make phone companies reveal unknown caller IDs to stop nuisance calls in UK.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

This will stop scammers and immature people causing unnecessary stress.
I have had many people call my house phone with death threats exposing my home address without knowing who these people are. Revealing numbers can and will deter nuisance calls.
Ban or stop the use of 141. 1470 or #31#. There is no need for someone or businesses to hide numbers if they are legit and genuine.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
