Did you mean the number of incoming call?
First, to show the number of any incoming call, make sure you have CLIP (Calling Line Identification Presentation) service enabled. You can check using this Advanced Call Settings app: select "Line ID" tab > CLIP > Interrogate.
But if the person (who is calling you) is using the CLIR (Calling Line Identification Restriction) service, you will not see his number.
In that case, you need the CLIP service with Override category in order to see his private number.
Ask your service provider if this service is available for you or not.

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.

What's the best way to go about using SIP/Voip on my HD2?

Hi all,
So I'm picking my HD2 up for my birthday next week and have already done a ton of homework (aka reading of the Leo forums here at xda) on the device but have a question...
I have a voipcheap.com account to make free/cheap international phonecalls from my computer. I assume it's viable to use SIP/this service on my HD2 (I've tried on old handsets with varying results, which seem to come down to the hardware being rubbish)
What's everyone using to make calls via their internet calling accounts, and have you successfully used the 'audio routing' tweak to route calls to the normal ear speaker?
Thanks
Mr Baig
I think the best way to go about SIP is using softwares like Fring or Nimbuz
lowcaller
Hi!
VoIPcheap.com is just another phone service offered by Betamax. For a full list, see this page: http://backsla.sh/betamax
For all the Betamax brands, there's a great way of doing VoIP calls from a WinMo phone: go to http://www.lowcaller.com/en/index.php , choose your service (voipcheap.com in your case) and download the cab for your phone (yes, there IS a version for the HTC Leo). Once you download it, it will create an icon on the start menu. Select it, input your voipcheap id and password and your mobile number and UNCHECK the "auto lowcall" (or whatever it is called) option. Tap on "Save".
From this point on, you won't need the lowcaller icon anymore.
To make a call, go to your contact, tap on Menu=>See more information, then Menu => [scroll the menu down] and you will see the Lowcaller options.
I've been using lowcaller for a while now, and it works very well.
Hope this helps...

Fantastic - sounds like this would do the job!
1 week 'til I've got my HD2 and I'll post back here with my results.
Just reporting back to say that lowcall appears to do the job perfectly (just made the 1 call right now, in a dodgy 3g area!)
Many thanks to ccristal for the tip-off, more people need to know about this little cab for sure.
Now for another question (sorry!) - is there anything that exists which takes advantage of the SMS service in Betamax clients like Voipcheap.com? I use the text service occasionally to text internationally so it'd be great if I could access this on my phone.
Trust the xda-devs to be on the case!
Actually, you can send sms using lowcaller itself. If you select a contact from the WM contact list (not the Manila one) and you open the menu, you will find a menu item to send a sms to that contact using lowcaller.

It's important to point out, however, that the call is not a full VoIP call. When you use lowcaller, you actually call an access number in London, and it's only from that point on that the call is forwarded using VoIP. Here's how I think it works under the cover:
there are 3 numbers in the game here: your number, your contact's number and the lowcaller access number.
you select a contact in your list and call it using lowcaller;
a data connection is opened, and your own number and your contact's number are sent to the lowcaller server;
the lowcaller server associates the two numbers with an access number taken from a pool, and it returns the access number to the lowcaller client running on your phone;
the lowcaller client dials the access number;
the software running on the server identifies your number and the access number you are calling and retrieves your contact's target number from the mapping established at step 3, after which connects the call.
This has an interesting side effect: after the first call to a given contact, you can associate the access number that lowcaller actually called with the contact as if it were your contact's own number. From that point on, every time you dial the same access number, you will actually call your contact, without a data connection being opened at all, since the mapping between your number and the contact's number is already stored in the table for that access number.
Not sure if I've been clear enough... but please do feel free to come back to me for any additional question you may have.

do you have to associate the access number that lowcaller called to your contact or is it an option?

No, you don't have to. If you don't, every time you call the same contact a new data connection will be opened, and a different access number may potentially be chosen. However, if you do associate it, you won't need to go to the WM contact page to get to the lowcaller menu, since the number will be visible from Manila and can even be saved as a shortcut.

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...

Call Blocking?

On the Moto G4 Plus, is there a way without a third party app to block numbers? These telemarketers are brutal this year.
Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk
Don't believe so. I use Truecaller. For my "land line", I use VOIPo, best service around. You can link it to Nomorobo and also block calls on your own, setting up incoming numbers to get a busy signal, go directly to voice mail, or get a "disconnected" message. Depending on your mobile service, you might give Nomorobo a try. If it will link to your service, and if Nomorobo detects that an incoming call is spam, your phone will ring once and stop.

I'll second Nomorobo. I was getting upwards of 10 calls a day on my landline and once I went to Nomorobo, they dropped to practically zero. Nomorobo requires call forwarding so all calls go their server and the ones in their database are blocked. The bad news is they now still offer landline free, but the only other option is landline + mobile is $4.99 a month.
I personally use AVG Mobile Security on my phone that I purchased while they had their mobile version on sale. It does block all calls that you manually enter into the app. The bad news is those companies just change their number to a new number once you block them. I received a call the other day from myself, showing my own number.
Block Calls:
Open the apps drawer
Launch “Contacts”
Go to “All contacts” and select the contact you want to block
Tap “Edit” > “Menu”
Turn on “All calls to voicemail”
Unblock Calls:
Launch “Contacts”
Go to “All contacts”
Select the contact you want to unblock
Tap “Edit” > “Menu”
Turn off “All calls to voicemail”

I've seen that solution but, IMHO, that's really a pseudo-solution, since you have to have the phone number in your contacts list to invoke blocking. I think what's being asked for here is to block a number either as it's coming in (with something recognizing it as spam) or with a number that was received without having to add it to the contact list.
