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 ?

I only see Caller-Id info for folks in my Contacts. When Anyone else calls all I see is their number. Can anyone help me with this?

That's the only way to see them. You can't just see the name of a random number.

Wow! really?, I realize cell phone numbers are not listed but I just assumed that I could at least get Caller Id info for people with listed landlines?

I think that he means that the incoming calls are coming from a landline.

Yes, I know I'm not on a landline (I'm not calling myself)
So anyway, does anyone know if I should get Caller Id info from landline calls

Never in the history of Cell phones has Land line caller info come up.
The only info that you can see when ANYONE calls Land line or Cell phone is the Phone number.
If the phone # is in your Contacts database then that # is associated with the contact info and then the caller info is displayed.
If the phone # is NOT in your contacts database the number should be displayed and that is all.

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...

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.
