Make Private Call / Hide Number feature? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I finally ordered my phone so I am anxiously waiting for delivery.
I was wondering as I couldn't find any info in the manual nor on this forum...does the phone have a built in feature to make the out-going call private or hide number?
I know the GSM code #31# but I know some phones have the feature to always do this on calls or individual calls.
If there is no feature, is there a 3rd party app?
Thank you in advance.
So much to learn here...

there's an option in the phone settings to turn off outbound caller id.

Excellent...thanks!

of course I reject all incoming calls that have caller ID turned off to keep the telemarketers away. Just something to keep in mind if you have some tech savvy friends who do the same.

"Only to contacts" is broken. You still need to dial *82 or whatever; it's not automatic.

Thanks.
*31# shows the ID as all my friends' numbers in Contact has that in front of the phone number. I've been using it for years on my other phones.
Hopefully *31# will override the HTC "caller id to no one" setting.
There are just too many customers that I call that I do not want them to have my cell number. If they reject my call then we'll play voicemail tag
Thanks for all the replies. I can't wait to get my new phone!

i call *31# now can not call anyone ?!!

Stupid question

Guys do not get upset with me. I've been trying to find this but I was not able to locate it.
When I make a call is there any way not to show my number to the other party?
I'm sure there is a simple answer but I cannot find it
Thanks for the help
*67 then the number

So is there no tweak that I can do so I do not have to dial al the time *67 ???
Dial *67 before dialing the phone number.
More info about the various *codes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_service_code
You should keep in mind, that even if you use *67 (block your caller ID) before placing the call, the person you called may be able to dial *69 which will redial you. It won't give out your number, but many networks still allow the callback itself to occur.
The long and short of it is that you'll either (1) answer their return call, or (2) their call will go to your voice mail. Either way it turns out, the person you called will probably figure "things" out pretty quickly.
Start, Settings, Phone, Services tab, highlight Caller ID, click Get Settings, Change Radio Button to *No one*

that's the best way...or set your caller id in the same place to my contacts only.

aFirewall is free in Market now.

aFirewall allows you to configure multi-scenes to block different call or SMS at different time by now. Its features are as below:
1. You can add black number from call log, SMS log, contacts or add it mannually;
2. You can setup aFirewall password to protect your private black list;
3. Unread blocked call log and SMS log notification;
4. Option to disable and enable aFirewall blocking notification;
You can download from market now because it is free. I am looking forward to your comments. Thank you very much.

thanks for the apk bro, u r the man!
I had made it free today. You can download from market directly and have a try. I am looking forward to your comments. Thank you very much.
Looks like a good free app but sends the call to voice mail. Would be better if for an incoming call the phole answers then hands up. This has a two fold benifit, first the spammer is charged for phoning me and second no voice mail.
if there is an incoming call, does the app block the call instantly or will the phone rings then block?
will there be a notification of the blocked calls? coz personally i dun want to see who's call i blocked......

Yeah, I noticed that with other firewall apps too. They all send to voicemail. That's part of the standard OS if you just click "send all calls from voicemail" under the contact for that number.
I want something that blocks them, or better yet - set up a forwarding number for their individual phone#. I'd love to forward the telemarketers right back to themselves. ha.

aFirewall just endCall when the call need to be blocked. Woud you like to let me know the call will be send to voicemail automaticlly when the call was rejected in your operator? That is to say, this is a default configuration of your phone as my Nortel IP landline phone does.
I can add a feature to aFirewall to forward a call to another number when a call was rejected.
Thanks.

If a blocked call was incoming, aFirewall end it instantly and no rings. And no notification was sent to you in default configuration. But your can enable it if you want this. Thanks.
How did you go about hanging up the call on incoming. I have looked into this and from what I can see this is not in the current version of the SDK.
If you could post some code that would be awesome!
Thanks
this app does not work at all....i added a contact to black list and have it set to block both calls and sms, and im still getting the calls and messages from that person... :/

Google Voice Ringtones

I have Google Voice on my G1, and I'm wondering if there is a way to use a different ringtone for incoming calls on my Google Voice number than from my regular phone number. I've looked around the options but can't find anything as of yet.
Am I missing something and the option is sitting there right in front of my face, or is it just not implemented yet to be able to change the ringtone?

Add your Google Voice number as a contact (I starred mine).
Then assign that contact a different ring tone.
done!

It still didn't work for me :/
The Google Voice number does not call my phone, it simply forwards the calls to my number when people call my GV number. So, say I call my GV number with my house phone, my G1 would display the incoming number as my house number and not change the ringtone to the GV one.

What you need to go is go to settings on GV and change "Caller Id" to display my gv number. That way you get free calls i mean your gv will be calling you. But make sure to put on call screening.

Thank you, that worked. Guess it was a GV issue and not a G1 issue, my bad.
Do you know who is calling you then when someone calls your gvoice number?
You would only know who is calling if you setup GV call screening, so the caller has to announce their name, and you press '1' to accept the call.
With GV passing through the original CID, I don't believe there is any way to set a different ringtone, as your phone isn't going to know the difference. If you use the third party GrooveIP, to send the GV call over IP instead of voice, there may be some other options.

How exactly do I get to the settings of GV to change the Caller ID? I cannot figure out where that setting is. Google again has a great service, but very poor direction or obscure directions on how to implement features. Please help me. Thank you very much.

Is the blacklist reversable?

I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know if you blacklist a number, can it be un-blacklisted?
Again, i cant seem to figure it out.
You can..go to Settings > All Calls > Auto Reject > Auto Reject list

If you black listed it with handcent then you will need to use handcent to remove it as long as it gives you the option

[Q] way to see names in incoming calls

is there a way to see names in incoming calls instead of numbers?
(or what is the necessary tweak)
If you have the number stored as a contact (with a name), then it should show when they call.
But if you want your phone to display the caller's Call Display name, I think that is something your carrier controls.
On my carrier (Rogers in Canada) I have the Call Display name enabled (which causes a little problem for me, as I am running Mexican radio - callers that have a Call Display name always show up as "Pay Phone"). I have to call Rogers to get that feature disabled.

it's 'should'........but it does not happen.....
What do you have in Settings -> Call Settings, then scroll down to Additional Settings. Do you have a caller ID option there?
