Hi all,
In all of my previous Nokia phones (6600 and N90), there is a feature within the phone to disable sending MY phone number when I call someone. THus, the when I call, the receiver party will see "no number" or something like that.
However, I don't see this feature in the MDA. Is this possible with the MDA?
Start > Settings > Phone then the Services tab.
Select Caller ID and it will (should) open a screen asking if you want to provide Caller ID to Everyone or No one.

Sending your caller ID is generally a setting of your provider.
If you want to suppress your caller ID for the next call try the following:
#31#phonenumber
This works for all german provider, i'm not sure if this combination works globally.
hope this helps

Did somebody know how to disable functionality in Phone mode that is sending Your Phone number ID, to the call receiver?....or in other words...is it possible make anonimous phone calls?..
tnx
There are 2 ways. Ask your provider to permanently switch off caller id or go to Start - Settings - Personal - Phone - Services - Caller ID - Get Settings - No one

Of course, you realize that the Cell Phone company still knows you made the call, and whom you called? So it is anonymous only to the receiving party, not in any permanent sense.
Yeah, we should fix that too ! No more bills (Big OR small) :lol:
should be interesting in fact....aha....thanks to ZERIMAR... i was able to redefine the settings avoiding to send ID nr. to my frends......
Didn't the GSM network have anoption never to show Call-ID, unless you put some code in front of the tel.number ?
Or was it the other way around ?
Instead of permanently disable Call ID forwarding through Phone->Settings as suggested, in Italy we have also a code you can put before the number you're calling that disable the ID just for that call. The code is *06#. Maybe other countries are using the same code too, don't know.

Yea it is but if i want t permanently hidden , i should redefine all numbers in phone memory adding this code in front...and then if somebody is calling me, ID is not going to be linked to the number in phone memory......better set up everything in the the phone functions directly....
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.
Can anyone help with advice or an application for the following (if it doesnt exist it should-but it probably does!):-
I do some newspaper work and hence my phone number is in the paper every week. Im reviewing and it leaves me open to abuse and i occasionally get a mouthful from HIDDEN numbers.
It means that i now just dont answer any hidden numbers, which im sure several of which are genuine.
Is there an application/ way that i can make ALL incoming calls that have their number hidden IMMEDIEATLY go to a specific voice mail? (e.g. "Hi, this is **** ******. Hidden numbers are not accepted on this phone. Please ring from a revealed number, text or leave a vociemail and ill get back to you").
Have i any specific options???
GOOGLE AND INSTALL MAGICALL - it does everything you have asked for and more its awsome this is 100% the answer to your issue.!
An alternative may be is to call your mobile phone operator to see if they have a "block-the-blocker" (that's what it's called where I live) service: if the caller blocks/hides his/her phone number intentionally or by default, s/he is greeted by a system recording saying blocked ID calls are not accepted (followed by with instructions on how to unhide ID).
I think call firewall will do what you need, good luck.
Sounds like you may want to check out Google Voice.
Basically, you get a free phone number that forwards to the phone(s) of your choice, along with extensive call filtering options and a lot of other cool features.
It won't help you with the people who already have your number, but Google Voice allows you to set up call filters so that you can send unidentified callers straight to voicemail or reject them with a "hidden numbers are not accepted on this phone" message.
If you have a Google Voice number and a Windows Phone, you can get apps for dialing out through Google Voice so your GV number shows up when you return a call.
If you go this route, you'll want to check out the following apps:
iDialer (Google Voice version) - This program can be used to dial out normally through your cell phone, or initiate calls through Google Voice.
iContact - This program integrates iDialer with your phone contacts.
Green Button (sets up your phone's green "call" button to open iDialer instead of the default dialer)
Google Voice Easy SMS - sends texts from your phone through your Google Voice number.
I have this set up on my Tilt2, and I'm very pleased with it. Feel free to message me if you need any questions answered.

There is a service called Trapcall, google it. when somone calls you from an unlisted number all you have to do is press the call reject button then it will ring back with the callers unmasked number, and the caller never notices. its not an app and free.
hello there, i badly need some call forwarding app which one can forward call on selected list or some selected phone number.
i want it because of all call blocker apps are doing that the call come into the phone.but i want something like that when someone trying to call me they found my number "switch off" or "call ended" or "network busy" but not user busy.. coz for this case the caller knows that i blocked him/her.
EXPERTS LOOK AROUND IT, I NEED YOUR HELP BADLY" :good::good::good:
A while back I was doing sales from home and I was calling all over the country. Didn't want total strangers having my phone number so I tried out a handful of apps from the Play Store that would hide my ID. It worked but I've moved on to other projects and I want my caller ID back. I have deleted all the apps but my number still comes up as 'private' or 'unknown' when I make a call. Something got left behind on my phone and I have no idea what it is or where it would be found. Anybody got any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Settings - call - additional settings - caller id - show number
