I searched for this problem everywhere but couldn't find any post addressing it.
I'm on TMobile. I've used several ROM's here.
Recently I needed to block caller ID for a few outgoing calls. I know how to do it manually by *67 but on the phone there is a setting which also helps to do it.
My problem is my MDA reads the wrong setting from the network, when I hit caller ID and then get settings it always reads "No one" under "Provide my caller ID to" section all the time even when it's set to "Everyone". This means that no matter what I do, my caller ID gets displayed to the person that I'm dialing.
I've tried this with Molski's AKU 2.3 final ROM, Risidoro's 2.3 ROM as well as the official TMobile ROM.
Can someone tell me a fix for this? Or is this a device problem specific to my phone alone.
Thank you and wish you all A Happy New Year 2007.

I thought it was *82 to block/unblock.

Well in the US, on T-Mobile *67 and #31# work. I've tried and verified both techniques. I've never heard of *82. Although I can dial both to disable caller ID, I'd just like my phone to read the caller ID settings from the network right.
Different networks will have different block/send Caller ID prefixes. The GSM standard is for #31#<phone number><SEND> to block the number, and *31#<phone number><SEND> to send the number (used if you have permanant CID blocking). This should work on all GSM networks.
Well, thanks for the clarification, but could someone help me on my problem on the first post please.

Try calling TMo and have them reset your phone/account from their side (you don't need to tell them that you are using a cooked ROM) sometimes their system just gets confused.

Thanks demontefixo, I never thought about that. Will ask them to do so and report back.
GSM Standard - Block/Send Caller ID

The GSM standard is as follows:
*#31#<send> - Check Send Caller ID Status
*31#<send> - Send Caller ID for all subsequent calls, except where explicitly blocked by prefixing a number with #31#<number><send>
#31#<send> - Block Caller ID for all subsequent calls, except where explicitly sent by prefixing a number with *31#<number><send>
Not all network operators will allow you to do this.
Thanks CJBS and demontefixo. They did have a problem with my account and now it's been reset and working as it should.
@ demontefixo
Nice one. A simple solution that should've been one of the top ones in trouble shooting hierarchy but I would've thought I did something that is not making it work.

Hello, i just want to ask did your caller ID software working smoothly? Mine sometimes run greaat but sometime didn't recognize caller even i have safe it and edit the pict, ringtones etc...
How about better software, anyone know?
For some reason, my Alpine doesn't show the caller's name correctly unless I do this:
As my phone is on O2, anybody in my address book who is also on O2, I have their number in as "07xxx xxxxxx" (where the Xs are their number, all mobile numbers in the UK begin 07). However, anybody who isn't on O2, I HAVE to have their number in the international +7xxx xxxxxx format, otherwise their name doesn't show up when they ring me.
I don't know why this happens, and I've not been able to figure out a workaround, and this has happened ever since I got my first XDA (I've had two), and I've done a couple of hard resets and fresh reinstalls and this still happens.
So yeah, that's what I had to do to get my caller ID working properly.
I am also on O2 and have all my numbers in international format but occasionally the device is just slow looking the number up.
It will display the number for a few rings then show the name. Of course I don't know if it always finds the name because sometimes by then I've answered the call.
Yeah, I have that problem too - the number only comes up after a few seconds if I don't have them in the right format for the person calling (depending on what network they're on) - by which time they've usually hung up or it's gone to voicemail, so meh.
Hm it's strange, for me i didn't wotk to set international format, it just show the number. And there is a funny thing, i run my caller ID and just look around, then i did soft reset. after that it will show the name and they personal photo etc. but after i soft reset again it didn't work again? :?
Any one know the other program wich do same function but does they job better?
Thank for all.
Ermm.. maybe u could try to download O2 plus...
when most people call it only displays the number, rarely anyone has the caller ID. i think theres only like 2 people in my contact list that it has their name.
so most people call and it just shows a number, i dont always know who it is.
ive already done the following:
added my country area code and city area code to each contact.
flashed multiple roms (AT&T, HTC, Duty's)
switched from using 3G to Edge and GPRS.
has anyone else experianced this?
I'm guessing they are on the sim? Had the same exact problem and it got really annoying. I had to go and edit every single contact that didn't have the are code. That's what you have to do. It's weird because on the 8525, you don't need that.

so you had to give all your contacts area codes? did seem to make a difference for me. if i gave someone an area code it still didnt show when they called.
Exactly. Had to do it for all that didn't have an area code.

Yeah I notice this a lot living and working overseas.
Some cell networks send the caller ID as a full international number and some send it a local number (as they do here).
Best way I found of is to edit the numbers in Outlook contacts on the PC as it will prompt you for the correct country and area codes into the standard (MS-US) format ie +971 (xxx) xxxxxxxx and the phone then seems to start recognising them.
Hello,
can anyone shine some light??? I have the at&t TILT phone I want to block
ALL INCOMING CALLS, (call barring) to do so I would need a passcode that AT&T SAID THEY DONT HAVE!!!! Does anyone know the default code? has anyone used it before?
thanks
i am not pretty sure, but should be something like "1234" or "0000". except cases dat somebody [like i did] changed it! but i'm sure the operators can reset it to the default value, so make 1 more call
i also saw this option in some softwares, unfortunately i can't name 1 of'em rite now!
This isn't perfect, but it works okay:
http://www.logic-unlimited.com/callfirewall.php
If you can find any info on this let me know as I've been searching for this password for a long time with no results. AT&T says they don't have the barring password and to call HTC. HTC says its network dependent and the phone gets the feature list from the switch.
Good luck!
the pin is network dependent.
as long as you haven't changed it, for AT&T it is "1111".
Let us know how you get on.
The evil side of me says to just set forwarding to the AT&T customer service line...
Doesn't the second half of this
http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-..._dyncharset=UTF-8&solutionId=62179&isSrch=Yes
suggest you can enable call barring for incoming calls and leave outgoing normal? I didn't enable it, but I went through step 6 and got settings from the network. It gave incoming block options of All Calls, When Roaming, and Off.
1111 doesn't work on my Tilt on AT&T.

the default values are ALWAYS '0000'...just ask the call center of ur operator to confirm it with the Switch (also called NSS or MSS) department, may be the engineers have changed the default password in the HLR. call center guys dont know half of the things buddy
Hi,
Can somebody explain how to setup my diamond so I can call anonimus?
(the reciever may not see my mobile number on his mobile)
Thanks
Unfortunately rather complicated :
Settings-->Phone--> Chose "Caller ID"--> Click "Get Settings"
There you can tell the phone to provide your caller ID to :
- Everyone
- No one
- Only to contacts
Does anyone know of an easier way ? I Hate this procedure.
i believe its a operator svc option.
at least I have to pay locally every month to get this service.
OK... thanks... "problem" solved

On Orange, if you prefix any number by #31# it will call anonymously.
Or on any UK network, you can prefix the number with 141.

thats a GSM code. it should work in every network.
in some networks you can use #31# and the press send to deactivate CLIP for each call. *31# will activate again. just try it, if it is not working you only get an error message.
Since there is no forum for "Moto G" I'm posting my question here...
All calls from unsaved number only show "Unknown" not even the number of the caller, I badly need a fix for this. I'm on stock ROM and kernel, untouched. I did installed Truecaller and thought that might be causing it, but uninstalling it didn't help.
Does anyone else have the same problem? Any fix for it?
Thanks

For future reference the moto g forum does exist : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g
As for your problem, is this also the case when you check the call log? Or only while the call is taking place
No, just incoming calls...they show as "unknown" and no number in the call log as well.
What carrier are you on? I seem to remember reading somewhere (may not have been here) that a Canadian carrier was charging for Caller ID and shows all calls as unknown even if they are saved in your phone.

If you're with Verizon, try this. Login to your account on Verizon's website. Look for the option to change the features of your phone. It should say that Caller ID is ACTIVE for your account. TURN IT OFF. Wait a bit and then try some test calls. Then, go to the website and turn Caller ID BACK ON. Wait a bit and then try some test calls.
This MAY fix your issue. Even if you're not with Verizon, it's possible this could resolve your issue as well if you try this with your current carrier.
Good luck!
:good:
Even I m facing the same problem. The caller I'd used to display with my Samsung phone but now it is not being displayed with moto g 3rd generation. How should I get it fixed
