It might be an idea to make sure your iD voicemail works.
At least the caller has the option of leaving you a message, if you’ve not got coverage when they call.
Okay let's see what happens thank you I'll be back if this doesn't work

That seems strange
If a caller withholds their number when making a call, the receiver still gets the call but is unable to see the caller’s telephone number - the receiver’s phone usually says withheld number or something similar.
But I've had hospital appointments not come through because they've used a withheld number

All that happens with withheld numbers, is the caller has chosen to hide their number when calling your mobile phone
Provided your mobile phone has coverage, calls from any callers choosing to hide the number will still reach your mobile phone.
Should read "how " do I know
But I do I know that withheld numbers get through is there anyway to check in settings

Hi
Welcome to the Community!
As long as you have coverage you should receive the call just fine.
If you have any issues, let us know.
