I can't help with the number but one very important thing to check is to look after some rogue app (probably hidden as something benign, like a free ringtone app or something) that does the messaging - something like App Ops X might help.
Oh, and about the number - in many countries numbers that take money from you (by SMS or calls) must be registered with a central authority - check for that in your country and contact it!

O. Don't forget about anti virus software.
You can try DR.Web or similar & scan your phone.

???change What Other See On Caller Id

OK BEFORE THIS GETS MOVED MODS PLEASE LEAVE THIS HERE FOR A BIT THE PEOPLE IN WIZARD AND HERMES SECTIONS HAVE ALOT OF KNOWLEDGE thats why i put it here instead of in general
with that being said How Do You Change what displayes on your caller id i have cingular(i manage 2 wireless stores at this time ny so what i say is just my opinon i sell everthing but verizon not trying to slander)
back to topic cingular tells me they can make it unknown and still see my number but most cingular customer reps are stupid its funny that we know more then them lol) i want it to say Mike is there any way to do this maybe call verizon i was thinking cause i believe all numbers go through the verizon swithT
if anyone knows any hack or trick pm me or post here
thanks
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.

[Kaiser] ***Idea for new App***

Im in need of some assistance here, i have a nuisance caller txtin me all the time with silly things to say. Im a Team Leader in a Security Company and its my job to keep people on and let people go. Theres been lots of different people who have left due to my decision for management. Now im getting nuisance txt messages from a number which i would like to trace.
Ive looked at different types of websites, followus, trackme and all these need confirmation before the tracking process can begin. Is there anything out there that can help me in my quest for justice? Is it possible for someone to create a little app for the kaiser to get me some details regarding this fool who has not stopped stressing me out? Im a single dad with 2 kids to look after and im not getting any sleep due to this.
Any help would be grateful!
Before you ask
- I cant just turn my phone on silent as i am on call 24/7 also my mum is critically ill in hospital and i cant afford to miss calls.
- I dont want to block the number as i would like to know who this person is.
- Ive called my service provider and they have a 'all or nothing' policy
- I dont want to change my number because that means this person wins and i lose my number which i have had for 10years

Thats quiet a handy application but isnt there anything out there that would give away someones location or even details of the sender if the number is registered to an address?
Have a look at Net Caller ID. It works pretty good.

That one does. Well, it wont give the location of the caller (cell phone), but it will give you an address if there is one associated, and it can be found online.

[Q] Is there an activation code generator coming out soon?

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

[Q] Incoming Call on WM7

Can someone clarify if WM7 will show both the full name and company for incoming calls.
I save all my contacts in outlook and use the File As to show both Person & Company i.e. John Smith(ABC Ltd).
I have over 1500 contacts for work and it's one of the features that has kept me with Windows for years.
I've tried Android and that doesn't do it. Iphone doesn't do it. Nokia doesn't do it - Not sure about Blackberry.
Also does WM7 have smart dial - I'm sure I read that it didn't, again it's a feature that's kept me with Windows, I have a shocking memory and being able to dial by first name, last name, company or telephone number is invaluble.
Cheers
Pete
For me it shows only 1st and last name + picture if available. Company info is a no go as long as you don't incorporate it in the contact name itself as I usually do.
Smartdial: No. But searching the contact list is easy. Just type 2-3 letters and you have narrowed the results enough. I'm saying this with 700+ contacts.
...I very much like to use voice dial, too. Very reliable, in fact, and fast.

Dear All,
I'm experiencing very strange issue with my WP7 HTC HD2, when receiving call form my saved contacts.
Almost all my contacts are saved in my phone with international dialing code as I'm living abroad.
When I receive call abroad, the name of my contact is displayed.
When I receive call at home the name is not displayed, only the number is displayed and I dont know who is calling while the number is saved in my phone with international dialing code.
To have the name displayed I have to save the number again without international dialing code.
I have the same issue when I dialing also.
Please help.

How accurate is frequently contacted log?

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?

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
