Amber call filter question

[prateekj1993]

In the advanced settings in the call and sms filter in my lumia, there is an option to "Block withheld numbers" which is turned off by default. Can anybody tell me what is this option for??

It is when the phone number is not shown instead you have alphabets indicating who it belongs to (like a bank name for example)

Withheld numbers are numbers that don't show up when your phone rings - it normally says 'Private' or 'Unknown' or something like that. So basically it blocks any number that doesn't show up on your phone when they call.
