sorry mods for double post and wrong section leave here for a bit till it gets answered thanks
no there is no way to do it. the only possible way would be for you to infect the switchboard with a virus that when it sees your imei or esn depending on your gsm/cdma status talking to a cell tower it broadcasts the caller id information from a preprogrammed selection that you put in the code of the virus. but like i said. unless you wanna goto jail for infecting a switchboard like that then my answer is still no.

Don't quote me on this but I think cingular has a feature now that allows you to prevent your name from showing only. It's called "Calling name block" and it is a free service. What actually shows is the number and "wireless caller". Otherwise....(I have a 8525) and I can go to phone options to select or deselect to BLOCK my caller ID. This will block everything. I hope this answers your questions.

Also to block your outgoing Caller ID info dial #31# before the number and it will show unavailable. I put my most address book entries this way.
... Or become a POP or telco provider, a little like Skype has done - it'll show SMSes which you send from your skype client as being sent from your Skype profile name when the recipient views them. Which is pretty funky.
Of course, I immediately tried to change my skype name to "Your Mum", because I'm infantile like that but unfortunately it didn't change it. Still pretty cool, though.

in my country, hiding your own number when making call has been totaly restricted that is why you can't make calls, because you can make a prank call out of it. just follow what your network provider's policy. Read and Understand there Terms and Condition.
I would find this type of app very useful!
I work in Law Enforcement and I would love to be able to call complainants on my cell phone. HOWEVER, I don't want them to have my number as they would then be able to call me ANY TIME and or harass me if they so desired.
I would love to be able to call them and have them see my Command Center's Office number instead of my cell phone number. That way they could still call me back - by leaving me a message at the Center.
A previous person who posted stated that this might be illegal in his country. I don't know if it is illegal in the US. BUT, I suspect that it would only be illegal if it were being abused.
The apps I found in the Market were only through a service that charged a fee for any call over 2 minutes.
Does anyone know of an app that does NOT use a separate service?
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
Have seen several questions about how to get one of these codes so thought I'd share an easy method...
http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_selector_chat?ws=support#
Click general. Tell them you are setting up windows phone 7 and it required an activation.
they asked for my name, phone number, and manufacturer of phone (HTC)
within a minute I had my code
Hope it helps
i went that link and found no "general".... geehh, wanted to activate wp today, but g2g sleep
maybe sum1 can pm me an activation code ?
By 'General' do you mean:
Product Sales, General Inquiries and Genuine Advantage Questions
Have non-technical questions or concerns that your product may be counterfeit or not genuine? Get live, real-time answers to your needs quickly by chatting online with a Microsoft representative.
I visit there, chat with the supporter... And he told me to call my local supporter.
I said I called but they couldn't provide me an activation code so I contact US.
He told me to call the activation center and didn't give me any code :|
Sorry for my poor Eng
I try the 2nd time and I got an activation code And it works like a charm!!!
yyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa there is no general section...I m in the usa...live right next to Microsoft...literally
I can confirm this works. I'm based in the UK - gave them name, uk number and said HTC 7 and they gave me a code no problems.
really working, i got activation too.

Worked like a charm!!!
Still yet to test the code but i received an activation code within three minutes.
WHat section are people selecting. Can't see general. Says "Chat not available" on most of em :/
Cant see "Product Sales, General Inquiries and Genuine Advantage Questions" either and I've selected US as my location
EDIT: ok, can now. Stupid noscript in firefox
worked for me too from germany. just chose United states as location and got it.
hmm.. could you get me one? I tried but I can't seem to get in.
Please
tried chatting and they told me to call support
I tried chatting with general chat, as the instructions said, and they told me to call the technical support 800 number right away rather than giving me an activation code. I think they've caught on to this. :-(
Dammit, even though I selected united states as my location the agent said I was from the UK so I needed to give them a call
Worked for me now...after trying 6 or 7 times..
I don't understand why some of them are lying and saying that they dont have the tools to do it and that I have to call the support instead.
works like a charm!
had to give the support agent following informations: full name (real), phone number (my number), brand of phone (htc), no live id, no imei, no specific model name
had to wait a couple of minutes while she generated my key and got it!
Worked for me!
This is easier than I thought. I got an activation code within 5 minutes with the first rep. Thanks!

What did you tell them? I tried twice already. Even used an anonymous US proxy, cause the first time they detected that I'm from Russia and told me to call local Support. Anyway, both reps insisted on me calling a 1-800 number...

Just try again and again
The last person didnt say anything about me having an norwegian IP. she just asked for my name and phone number and then generated the key for me.
Worked! first time...used us portal (Dutch was closed...)
Hi, I tried getting an activation code in any way but microsoft won't give me...does anybody know if there's a key generator or something coming out?

No, that was a rumor started by somebody who has been banned multiple times because hes a scammer. (afaik).
What do M$ say to you when you ring them?
If they say to ask your carrier just say that you've been on phone to them multiple times and they keep sending you to M$, others have said that and got key.
First time they asked for an IMEI number. the second time, then they asked for a phone number and when I gave them mine, they told me to contact M$ in my country...
and these calls cost A LOT for me...
Just send them an email and they will give it to you

If you can't call them in your own country call the US support through skype - it's free. A code generator would be warez, and therefor not allowed on xda. Microsoft made a release vaguely saying that they don't really care and will continue giving away free codes.
Tried e-mail 3 times with 3 different e-mails. they didn't gave me a code. I guess I'm out of luck or just stupid...
I sent another email now without making up lots of stories and now they want my phone number, device, and name. What should i answer?(I told them I have hd7)
Its Easy
Hi Guys,
I did my HD2 yesterday and have another one to do once i get another class 6 memory card. I telephoned the German MS support number and after explaining that i was english and couldnt reach the english support number (so could she speak english?) explained that both myself and my girlfriend have just bought HD7's, the damn things wouldnt work without a key for live services and that the sales assistant mentioned nothing of this.
I offered to give both telephone numbers and asked if the one key code would work for both, she replied that she didnt need any telephone details from me as it doesnt matter and that she would have to give me 2 codes as one wouldnt work for both units. she then asked me for my name (i told her my name was fred something or other) and she then asked for an email address (i gave a fresh one i made for the pourpose without my details) A couple of minutes later she had generated both keys and gave them to me over the telephone.
She was really nice and well mannered and the whole thing was a breeze.
Really guys believe me when i say M$ do not give a damn about what handset you have. Its not like they are losing anything by giving out the keys, if anything they are creating potential marketplace shoppers.
I have an HD7 also and upon comparison the only difference i can see is camera quality, the function and feel is identical.
Best of luck to all those still trying,
Creamy
you must be silly if you don't try the skype method and give up!!
- uses your wifi or 3g internet (so its practically free)
- calls are very clear (even clearer than a normal mobile call)
- masks your location (support guy only ask me if canada or us)
- no queue time
- call completed in less than 5 minutes
i called at CST 9am and only tried once
they did not ask for my phone number or imei, just full name and live id
writing down the 25 digit code can be a pain in the arse though if the support guy has a foreign accent (no racism intended), you will need to make sure you wrote it down correctly by repeating back to him, then thank him nicely and disconnect from Skype, enjoy your HD 7 phone
*HTC has a lot of free useful apps in the marketplace, I would suggest grabbing them asap after activation
i try chat chat service..they keep telling me contact HTC or sales office..i try few time even the proxy..finally..i get my code via the online email support @ microsoft website~~no nd phone number either ..wat i said is jus
"QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
Message: Hi..can i request a new activation code for my HTC HD7?
thankz a lot.."
then the jus give me the code like tat~~waste a lot of time on the online chat~

Thats pretty much standard. I didn't lie to them. I gave them my name, email address and telephone number.
so should I give her my real name and phone and country even thought its not a US or UK number??
EDIT:done that...I hope i didnt make a mistake by telling her that i'm not from the us and my real phone number...
I contacted ms and they quickly reply with this:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting us. Kindly be advised that we will need you to send us the following information:
Name:
Phone Number:
Telephone Model:
Country:
I replyed with my details and im now waiting for a reply

This was the reply i've got:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Microsoft regarding your issue.
Kindly be advised that you have reached Microsoft Customer Support for the Middle East. Kindly contact the Microsoft Support in your country by visiting the below link and select your country:
So my girl has a few guys in her frequently contacted log and she claims she hasn't talked to them! Is it possible that a contact be on that list and she not have talked to them? Also how recent is the log and how many times would one contact a person in order for them to appear on the frequently contacted list? Please let me know I feel like she is lying to me!
The contact log basically just keep track of incoming , outgoing or missed call ...
So there's no chances of phone number appearing there without without you knowing. ...
However if it was someone spoofing your phone number , it would not have been logged
And If you reach out to a person multiple time over a specific amount of time they will be listed in your frequently contacted.
However If they reach out to you they won't be listed until you reply to them or otherwise make an attempt to reach them. :highfive:
HoW long do the numbers stay in frequently contacted log?

The list only shows all incoming and out going calls even if you didn't answer all calls are there as long as you din't remove them
If there is a number call you and you don't want him to call you or even if not show in this list , block his/her number
