Ex directory,not ex directory or something inbetween

[stayathomegardener]

Hi my Mum has early stage Alzheimers.I was planning to remove the Ex directory status from her home phone so my sister and I can see if we have a missed call from her but am now thinking of her trying to deal with sales calls(not well)

Is there an option that could display her number to my sister and I but remain ex directory?

Could you just clarify: ex-directory means not listed in publications.

Caller line identification (ie letting you see who is ringing) isn't the same thing. Does she currently have is blocked for everyone?

I assume she is just exdirectory as was when I was a child-caller ID sounds perfect.Thank you your Majesty

You can have a number unlisted, which means it's not in the paper directory, but is available from directory enquiries. There is a code that you can add before the number so that if it normally doesn't show, it means that it does. Can't remember what it is, though.
