How to hide your number (not shown on the receiver Caller ID)?

In my old Hermes (Cingular 8525), there is an option in the Phone Settings to hide my caller ID, so that when I call someone they will not see my number on their phone.
However, with my Mogul, I don't see that option. Does anyone know how can I do this?

I miss this feature on the mogul too. But you can type *67 and the number for example the number is 18001234567 type *6718001234567
P.S. if you find a patch to do this from a menu I would love to hear about it.

Thanks for the info. But that means I can't use my "Phonebook" to dial, as I have to manually enter *67 and then the number.
Maybe some of our resident hacker can figure it out?

Do you just want to permanently hide your number from everyone you call? If so, you should be able to ask your carrier to add a "No Caller Id" code to your account...

you could edit the phonebook entry or make an aditional one that is blocked and call it their "other" number or fax or something

Hi all,
Thanks for the suggestions. I don't want to permanently block my caller ID, only for select number. I prefer to be able to change the caller ID feature on the fly without editing the phonebook, but I guess I'll have to do so until Sprint implement this feature.

Hi
I'm with Bell Canada and we have a option on their web to block caller ID. I selected this option and in my contacts I added *83 to the number I want to unblock my ID. So if I dial a new number I know that my block caller ID is on.

Caller ID info (Name + Number)

Hello,
I have a cingular 8125 and when I get a call, I get the caller ID number (If I have the number in my phone book, the phone will display the caller name as it shows in my Phone book).
I also have a Sony Ericsson Z520a and when I put my SIM in it, I also see the Caller name when I get a call (the infoemation is sent by the operator) enven If I don't have the caller in my phonebook.
The operator is F!d0, they do send to caller's number and name. I am just wondering if anybody has the same service and is able to get it on the Wizard 100.
I never got the name to be displayed on the wizard either when it had the original Cingular WM5 roms or with the TNT WM 6.1 roms.
Thanks

this is a really good question i hope someone will be able to give u some answers

try to store the contact with international acces number (+49 for germany)

Well, then the problem would be that if the particular contact calls (voice call), then the name might not be displayed...

Issues identifing caller from agenda in roaming calls and sms

I noted an issue with caller ID and the firmware that I'm using (JM1 "New").
Whenever I receive I call, the phone recognize the phone and select the correct contact on my agenda. But whenever I'm on roaming of when I receive and SMS the phone can't identify the correct contact in my phonebook, and show the caller number (or sender number on SMS) instead of the contact in my phonebook.
I don't know if anyone else had this issue, or if it's an issue related to the Brazilian mobile phone infrastructure but I didn't had this kind of issues on my previous phones (Windows Mobile, Symbiam or Blackberry) and I would like to know how to solve this.
Important information: Here in Brazil, when you want to make a long distance call you have to choose the long distance operator on each call. In order to do so you have to select the operator using a two digit code after the long distance code "0" and before the city code. So it's like this:
0 XX 11 99999999
Long distance Operator City Phone
code code code number
So, in order to make this easy, I already included the Operator code in all contacts in my agenda, like: 0411199999999
But when I receive a call (from someone not in my agenda) it doesn't include the operator code. It shows only the phone number if the caller is from my city (99999999) or 0+city code+number when the caller is from other city (02199999999), without the operator code.
So I think that the issue is that the phone tries to match ALL the numbers from caller ID with the first numbers for that contact. So if the caller ID shows "99999999" it will match it with my agenda if I have "099999999", or "0411199999999). So as long as it finds the "99999999" it doesn't matter how long the number in my agenda is.
But sometimes (like when I'm on roaming or when I'm receiving and SMS) the caller ID shows an additional zero in from of the number (099999999). Since the phone can't match all the Caller ID numbers it can't find the contact in my agenda and shows the caller number instead of the contact.
So in order to this work for me it should only match the first 8 numbers from the caller ID with my phonebook. Does anyone know how to solve this? Is there a way to change the agenda configuration in order to match only the first 8 numbers?
