Call barring password on T-Mobile US ???

I have T-Moble here in the US and updated my Pocket PC Phone edition rom versio 4.00.16 ENG and noticed they have this call barring feature in the phone settings that lets you bar incoming or aout going calls but to activate you have to enter a call barring password does anyone know what it is.

i never used or tried it, but i was told its the last 4 digits of your social securty # or last 4 of your fone #

I tried both abd it didnt work but thanks for the info

I always thought call barring was done through the sim/service provider password.

T-Mobile also uses 1234 as a default password often.

also try 5678

Thanks again people i will try thpse suggestions today

Where did you find a 4.00.xx update for Tmobile? I just checked their site and they still had the old Nov 2002 3.16 code up there.
Thanks,

If you look at the ROM Update section of this forum you will see we have easy access to various 4.00.xx ROM updates.

SIM PIN 1 & 2
Ok, I had an experience earlier this year where one of my t-mobile phones (not the PPC) wanted "Sim Pin 2" to access a feature. I ended up getting my sim pin blocked and called up t-mo support. After a little bit of "Try to get the information out of the dumb support person" I finally had the person ask me "Well, I could give you PUK1 and PUK2, if you think that would help", I said i thought it might, and she gave me the two keys to the kingdom (Along with what SIM PIN 2 was originally, just a random string of number). The moral: Call T-Mobile, tell them you have a feature that you can't unlock and that you think you've screwed up your phone bigtime. If they ask if you want to send it in, say no, that you think you can fix the problem if they give you these weird PUK numbers or PIN numbers. They'll probably just be happy to get you off the phone, and these might be the numbers you're looking for.

Tmobile has a special plan called the "data-only" plan that automatically blocks all incoming or outgoing calls. However, it still allows emergency dialing (911) and 611 calls... Just call a rep and have them set you up with that plan! Everything costs the same...

Hermes not showing name display

My provider, Fido, offers a service where the name of the caller and telephone number show up. It's called name display. Unfortunately, on the hermes, the name does not show up. I only get the telephone number.
I have used another phone with this service and the service works.
I have been through several roms and they all give the same result. Any clues to what could be going on?

I never knew there was this funtionality from the provider......
Always thought there was a conversion on the phone when there comes a call in. Number recognition is we'll known, name send with the provider I have never heard off.....
Hope someone has an answer for you!

"What is Name Display?
It's a unique service exclusively offered by Fido and Rogers that lets you see on your handset display a caller's NAME and phone number from Fido, Rogers Wireless and landline callers across the nation, even if it isn't entered in your phone book. So you'll always know who's calling you. "

dying to find a solution
I have Hermes from Rogers. I have name display and of course stop working after upgrading to WM6.
just to prevent duplication, please read what I've done so far at the following link:

I don't have enought info or experience. Can anybody help? Work together or direction whatever...
This cannot be impossible. I don't think HTC developed a driver only for Rogers.

I can`t call!

Hi. I have a problem once bought a phone, configured everything correctly, I can not make a call from him. Incoming work. Outgoing not. At the mobile did not call, and calls on the city but did not get there. We asked the operator, he said that you have phone numbers for recruiting figures ahead adds. But in the recruitment of such numbers 1111111111 he added nothing. Please help me. Sorry for the bad English

Your post is very hard to understand.
As far as i can tell, you can recieve calls but no outgoing calls work?
Can you please answer a few questions.
1. What model of phone do you have?
2. Where did you obtain this phone from?
3. Who is your service provider?

Please help on Call divert Function

Hey guys, I just realised shortly today, that Verizon Droid Pro has been locked from Call Divert function. (I seldom use this fucntion, thats why I am so late until now)
There is no Option in the Call Setting Menu (where Usually do for Android)
And when I dial **21* (Standard GSM divert command),
It pops up says Forward function is not allowed outside Verizon Network
Good Lord, I am using my phone in Hong Kong, of course I am not in the VZ network.
So, I just wonder if anyone has any idea to get it working?
Cheers:highfive:

V20 rewriting voicemail number

I bought my US996 V20 from B&B and got it shipped to the UK where I live. It works fine in the UK except for one anomaly.
I have my service provider's voicemail number 901 set up as the voicemail number in the phone settings. But if I attempt to ring 901, either by holding down the 1 key OR by simply dialling 901, my phone attempts to ring +17855366... I.e. it dials my UK mobile number but with the American prefix. I then inevitably get the "number not recognised" message.
This is evidently some consequence of the phone being intended for sale and use in North America. But I can't work out why it is doing this or how to stop it. Meanwhile I can't access my voicemail when the phone is set up properly.
To get round this, I put any random incorrect number in the phone's voicemail setting then I can manually dial 901 without the phone hijacking it and redirecting my call to +1..... So it's a minor annoyance at best, but it's intrigued me so if anybody knows why it's doing this, and how to stop it, I'd be very grateful.
All the best
Doug
