Hey everyone,
my Axon seems to hide my phone number by default when I call other people.
I know that the phone is responsible for this because:
1. others can see my number when I call them with my old phone
and
2. when I put *31# in front of a number to basically override the phones setting the person I'm calling will see that it's me.
I feel like there is no setting to change the caller ID option in my Axon. At least it's not where it normally is (Call Settings, Additional Settings).
Does anyone have a similar problem or even better, a solution?
I asked about this on ZTE`s forum and never received a reply.
Okay, that's interesting.
I wonder why no one in the Axon 7 section talks about this issue. There should be more people with the same problem.
This is generally a carrier setting problem not a phone problem.
For T- Mobile not sure about ATT.
*67DN Activate Calling Line Identification Restriction (CLIR) for outgoing call
*82DN Deactivate Activate Calling Line Identification Restriction (CLIR) for outgoing call
In this case I know that it is not a carrier problem because I've tested it.
It might be worth mentioning that I own the European model and that I live in Germany.
Same for me, Europen Version and I live in Germany. Provider is O2. Switched from my HTC M8 to the Axon 7, had no hidden caller ID whatsoever on the M8.
Kind of annoying and I can't find anything to switch it off.
Anyone else has the same problem?

I live in France and my provider is Free Mobile.
The caller ID works for me.
My Axon 7 is a 2017G model with B05 firmware.
I've got news:
After dialing the gsm code #31# the phone is no longer automatically hiding my number. The strange thing is that this code is supposed to do something completely different: hide the number for the next call.
This still works after restarting the phone but after updating the software (bo5 to b06) I had to dial the code again which means that this method is only a temporary fix and this is something the ZTE devs have to look into.
Same here in Spain
I suscribe all your comments ace.infinity.
I'm in Spain, my carrier is Oceans. I'm in last build and with code *31# my name appears, I have to use it in all calls to be visible.
No solution found by the moment.

It is the phone setting itself that is now hidden from thre user menu that is actually hiding the number!
I was able to modify my caller ID setting by opening the phone app > menu> setting > call setting> SIM 1 or 2> additional setting.

I have T-Moble here in the US and updated my Pocket PC Phone edition rom versio 4.00.16 ENG and noticed they have this call barring feature in the phone settings that lets you bar incoming or aout going calls but to activate you have to enter a call barring password does anyone know what it is.
i never used or tried it, but i was told its the last 4 digits of your social securty # or last 4 of your fone #
I tried both abd it didnt work but thanks for the info
I always thought call barring was done through the sim/service provider password.
T-Mobile also uses 1234 as a default password often.
also try 5678
Thanks again people i will try thpse suggestions today
Where did you find a 4.00.xx update for Tmobile? I just checked their site and they still had the old Nov 2002 3.16 code up there.
Thanks,
If you look at the ROM Update section of this forum you will see we have easy access to various 4.00.xx ROM updates.
SIM PIN 1 & 2
Ok, I had an experience earlier this year where one of my t-mobile phones (not the PPC) wanted "Sim Pin 2" to access a feature. I ended up getting my sim pin blocked and called up t-mo support. After a little bit of "Try to get the information out of the dumb support person" I finally had the person ask me "Well, I could give you PUK1 and PUK2, if you think that would help", I said i thought it might, and she gave me the two keys to the kingdom (Along with what SIM PIN 2 was originally, just a random string of number). The moral: Call T-Mobile, tell them you have a feature that you can't unlock and that you think you've screwed up your phone bigtime. If they ask if you want to send it in, say no, that you think you can fix the problem if they give you these weird PUK numbers or PIN numbers. They'll probably just be happy to get you off the phone, and these might be the numbers you're looking for.
Tmobile has a special plan called the "data-only" plan that automatically blocks all incoming or outgoing calls. However, it still allows emergency dialing (911) and 611 calls... Just call a rep and have them set you up with that plan! Everything costs the same...
My provider, Fido, offers a service where the name of the caller and telephone number show up. It's called name display. Unfortunately, on the hermes, the name does not show up. I only get the telephone number.
I have used another phone with this service and the service works.
I have been through several roms and they all give the same result. Any clues to what could be going on?
bump bump77
I never knew there was this funtionality from the provider......
Always thought there was a conversion on the phone when there comes a call in. Number recognition is we'll known, name send with the provider I have never heard off.....
Hope someone has an answer for you!
http://www.fido.ca/portal/en/support/namedisplay.shtml#q01
"What is Name Display?
It's a unique service exclusively offered by Fido and Rogers that lets you see on your handset display a caller's NAME and phone number from Fido, Rogers Wireless and landline callers across the nation, even if it isn't entered in your phone book. So you'll always know who's calling you. "
dying to find a solution
I have Hermes from Rogers. I have name display and of course stop working after upgrading to WM6.
just to prevent duplication, please read what I've done so far at the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3078617&postcount=9
I don't have enought info or experience. Can anybody help? Work together or direction whatever...
This cannot be impossible. I don't think HTC developed a driver only for Rogers.
My SX66 is running WM6.1 ROM from sun_dream.
Every are smooth except one problem:
When I set the Caller ID service to "no one", I can not make any call.
I do not know why. I test my SIM with another phone, calling works normally. So I guess the problem is on the ROM.
I did search the forum but did not find a clue.
Any suggestion/solution are really appreciated.
Thanks,
it is possible that the network setting for caller id varys from country to country but for germany for instance the code is 31.
for getting the status dial *#31#
for temporary sending of your callerid dial *31#
to disable callerif dial #31#
and to get the status of incoming id dial *#30#
either that works for you or you look up the codes for your country and/or carrier and try them, that way, you can tell whether really the setting is broken in the rom or just not compatible to your network and adjust it.
Thank you for quick reply.
My network uses code #31#, and I tried it but could not make the call. The same with setting "No one"
I guest that the problem is with the ROM.
have you tried upgrading your radio rom? the newest one is 1.15.00 and maybe that will do the trick. or you sim unlock your device, or you try another sim card in your device. you know, the possibilities for what went wrong are pretty limitted, but i actually would blame the rom last, since that really hardly affects the calling.
does somebody have this issue?? if i want to call to a person that uses a diferent cellphone provider than me (example: i have t-mobile and want to call to a at&t number), my hd2 wont let me make the call!! and with my nokia i have no problems makin the same call, so it's not sim related

what exactly happens when you try to call the number? any message or anything?
might be worth a call to T-Mobile to verify they don't have any restrictions on the account or anything
i just hear a beep and nothing happens! i just notice that this aldo happens when i try to call a numer that it's not saved in my contacts.. so i can only call someone if his nurmer is saved in my contact list.. do you if there is an option to disable this?
thanks!
try having a play in
settings - menu - all settings - personal - phone - services - call barring (typing this from memory, wording may be slightly different).

SAME situation I'm on T-Mobile and hubby's on AT&T (work) and I can NEVER call his phone (always get voicemail) unless his phone is right next to me!
We've tried everything... once he leaves our little onclave ZAP! he's no longer reachable unless it's late at night.
this worked for me
settings - menu - all settings - personal - phone - gsm/umts services - caller ID - check everyone
thanks for all the help guys!!
Hi all,
I noticed a problem in my Nexus 4 - cannot make international calls (I dial the number, and then I immediately receive a "call ended" message without even a dial sound). No problem with local calls. I checked with my mobile provider and international calls provider and I'm open in their systems to dial internationally - so it must be something in the Nexus 4 settings - can anyone help? What should I change in my settings?
Thanks!

Are you on prepaid or postpaid plan? If you are on pripaid, you don't have enough credit to call abroad

Do you have the country code before the number? For example if you want to call to Norway from another country you need do write "+47" or "0047" before the telephone number.
Sure - 00-country code-number
Nobody encountered this problem? Nothing to change in settings?

No, have never encountered that before and can't really think of any reason for your problem either, sorry.
Do you have it activated by your carrier? Most require you to enable international calling. Doesn't cost anything. It's there as a safeguard.
I had a similar issue last week. I travel a few times a year internationally. I'm on AT&T and I purchase a passport plan prior to travelling to Europe.
I traveled to Germany in April. Phone worked fine I could SMS (using stock messaging app in android 5.0.1) and Called my wife's cell by just like I do here in the states.
Last week I was in Denmark. I could SMS my wife (who was in-country with me), but when I tried to call her phone it went to some voicemail and never rang her phone. I tried calling a colleague back in the states with a different area code and that call wouldn't even go through. I SMS messaged people back in the states, travelling in Austria, and travelling in Ireland as I would normally do when sitting at home with success.
There's definitely some goofiness going on. Not sure if it was the local carrier had some issue. But it's strange I could SMS with zero issues but couldn't make a call to the same contacts. Unfortunately, I never tried direct dialing using international codes, so I'm not sure if that would have worked.
As an additional piece of information my wife number is in the following format in my phone's contacts XXXXXXXXXX and the other colleague I tried to call was in (XXX) XXX-XXXX. I've called both in the past from Germany (and likely France) with no issues.
Yes - it's already activated. Thanks. Still don't know what's the problem.

I talked to an AT&T rep yesterday. According to her some towers/networks don't play nice with international phones and require you to manually dial the international code and such to make a call.
So, if you can't make a call like you normally do by going to a contact or something, she said try dialing the number manually with the country code and everything.
