Hey guys, dont know why but when i go to Settings/Phone/Services/Caller ID/Get Settings, its on NO ONE, but yet people still see my number, when i try to change to Contacts Only, and than OK, when i come back to the screen its back on NO ONE, but yet again still phone number comes up. I need to disable this ASAP! i cant have people seeing my number for work purposes becuase i call alot of clients and dont want my number exposed like that
bumpppp ????
I don know about your country's telco. But then as for my country, Call ID display is dependent on the subscriber services. We will have to subscribe to Caller ID no display in order not to show our mobile no to the receiving party.
So to me the caller ID in the settings does not applicable to me.
well im on Tmobile in USA, and i was always able to switch it, but i dont know what i did or installed, but its not working anymore
I thought this was an operator setting?

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....
Is there any programs for the pocket pc' that can block caller id's so your number doesnt show up on their caller id? Thanks
Settings->Phone
Services->Caller ID
press Get Settings.
This feature is based on the network you're using... Your network provider will have to allow the use of this in order for it to work...
Along with the OP's question, Is there a way to change what settings are offered? I'm on Cingular....When I was using Faria's 3.2 I was able to select between 3 options...show to all. show to contacts. never show.
Now that I am using Molski's 2.26, I only see...show to all. never show. Is this a ROM version thing or is there a way to get the extra option?
On my old regular cell (T616), I had blocked my # and then used *31# on my contacts, however with the wizard when those people call, they come up unknown. Royal PITA. So I would like to have my number shown to people in my contacts so that I don't have to fudge my numbers anymore.
Hi Guys
Ive searched about, but cant find anything, on this.
On the X10, you have the option to hide or show number in the Caller ID section, is there anyway to hide number to all numbers except the ones in your address book, so they are visible to people you call, HTC had this option on its WM phones, althought the Desire didnt have this option.
thanks in advance

I believe its a network-related option.
Your handset has nothing to do with that unless its supported by your provider
Sent from my X10i
I dont think it is, as im using the same privider, ive been with O2 for ever, it showed up in my TouchDiamond/HD/HD2
but since I moved to Android with desire and now X10, that option isnt in there, it has 3 options, Network default, ( this shows the number) hide number ( hides obviously) , show number (shows number).
Is this an Android issue? as I dont think its carrier related... Although you do get the caller ID options from the carrier. I might Call O2 later.

Hello,
I was on windows mobile, and I used a basic function which can hide my callerID to all numbers out of my contact list, very usefull to show me to all my contacts and not my customers.
I searched on the phone such an option but nothing, so I don't worry I go to the Market thinking a very simple function must exist there, but nothing...
I open my computer search about it and see a message that someone try this but can't find function in the SDK for the caller ID ?
Is there a way to do it (even if i have to do the app but I don't want to lose many hours to understand android coding if it's simply impossible !)
Thanks a lot if you have an idea on the question.
Hi!
On gsm networks you can add #31# at the beginning of the phone number to hide caller ID. In US use *67 (untested).

I`m looking for the same thing. One simple application that can hide my ID by pressing one button.
I`ve looked everywhere.Googled,searched Market and nothing. All apps are for US users. Prefix #31# or 141 doesnt work in UK. At least in O2 UK. Dont know about others.
So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE anyone who know anything about Android apps to make something that might help. I`m tired of going to settings and hiding my ID everytime i want to speak with my customers
I am using cm7 and in the call settings there is a setting for caller id. You can have it be private public or network determined.
I do agree that it would be a great app to have your id hidden to people outside of your address book. I think it would have to be an alternative dialer though

Hi!
I bought two LG IQ cell phones from telus. Those phones are for my kids,and right now they don't need a data plan. They will probably use some Internet on wii fii , so I would like to know how can I block Internet connection.I don't want to pay for connection. Any ideas how to do it? Thanks

your current settings may be locked though; if they are I will hunt down the registry settings to unlock them.
Those smartphones are new to me Thanks for help I will try this. I have another question though.I have notice that I have to pay extra money every month to have caller ID,so I am wondering if there are apps with caller ID? Thanks
What do you mean by caller id? if you have a persons name and number in your contact list when they call their name will show up. I would not pay for caller id.
ok Thanks again for your help!

Actually, I have same question too. I don't have CallerID feature. When people call, it only shows "Unknown", even I have that phone # and name on my contact list. Any solution? Thanks.
