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
When my phone stars to ring sometimes I get the message: "device is busy. Call is being forwarded" This is not quoted, because I have Dutch WM6.1.
But I think it must be something like that in English
Anyway.. When I get this message, the call is forwarded to my voicemail.
This is very annoying, because I have to call back all the time..
Does anyone have a sollucion?
ty..
I think this means you have accidentally pressed the call end button which causes it to go to voicemail...
Have you checked the settings in system options and turned off the auto reject call option?

I can't remember exactly or check at the moment because I'm using a 6.5 rom. But I think you can access it by pressing the call accept button, then choosing options from the phone menu. Then that should bring up a tabbed menu, and its in there somewhere. There's definitely something there though as I remember changing it when I was using 6.1 last to get mine working fine.
In the services tab?
I disabled all forward call settings already.. No changes.
In the Messaging app when SMS Message are threaded it displays a picture from the person the message was sent by, and another picture that is next to the SMS that are sent by Me. In the CM6.1 ROM the default Picture is a Grey Box...
Is there anyway of changing this?
I wish, this bothered me SO much at first..
Handcent allows it in the settings fairly easily well worth the small price to support good product that enhances my customization.
In CM, go to Settings -> Call Settings -> Additional Settings -> My Phone Number and put in your phone number.
Then make sure you have a contact with the picture you want to see in your contacts list associated with the same number.
And presto, picture.

This actually works...
Wish it would pull the picture from facebook like the original Slide ROM does, but at least the annoying gray square is gone..
Thanks for the help

Hi guys. I am also having this problem, admittidly with an HTC Saphire. I can't find any way to input "my number" anywhere. In settings "about phone" it says, number unknown and is greyed out. Anyone know how on a Saphire. Then maybe this would also fix my SMS picture problem.
Cheers, just in case.

The only downside I've found is that the setting doesn't stick through a reboot (so you have to put your phone number back in after each one). Upon checking, there's a bug tracker issue for that problem on the CM bug tracker so *shrug* hopefully it gets fixed some time soon.
Solution.
There is another longer thread somewhere on this, and the solution works, I have just done it.
Basically the sim card needs to be programmed with "my number". On my Magic, when you go to about phone, it would say number "unknown". Magic doesn't allow you to change this. Put your sim into another phone; I ended up using my girlfriends Backberry; and navigate to additional settings, or whatever, until you find Sim Card actions. Then in there edit sim card to show your phone number in international format (+44(leave out 0)**********).
Once done, pop card back into your phone, and as long as you have a contact with your number and picture logged away, then voila.
Works on any phone that allows you to edit sim card.
Hope this helps.

Madam*, I owe you a cookie.
*lol, couldn't find thanks so I clicked on your homepage...
Also doesn't need resetting after a reboot, however I had to reboot to make the pics stay after re-entering the messsaging app.
Everytime I get a call the phone says the name of the person calling like a talking caller id. Even when I get a text message same thing. I may be dumb but I can't find where to turn this feauture off. Anyone can point me in the right direction on how to turn this off thank you.
Maybe Settings - Accessibility - TalkBack ?
Check out driving mode in voice settings

This worked but i also had to click the option Always use my settings and that fixed it. Thank you
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
