I set my phone (AT&T Tilt) to block all outgoing caller ID and would like to be able to selectively turn this off by adding the usual #code prefix (usually *82 in the US) to the dialed number. Apparently, once you set the tilt to do this, you can not unblock the number without going back into phone settings and changing this setting. I spoke to AT&T who could not offer an answer or solution and they sent me to HTC who said it is a feature of WM and there is no solution unless the carrier provides one. I am never sure if AT&T support really knows the right answer - has anyone else dealt with this - is there any other code/#prefix that works or any other possible solution
Thanks!
Not sure if the codes are network dependent, but on Vodafone in the UK i dial *31# plus the number to dial. This will show my number for this call only.
HTH
Did you read the manual??? NO!!!!
Go to phone, selectect menu, select options, go to services tab, select caller ID, click get network settings, then select the one you want. AT&T does not support *69 & *82 on the Tilt.
Hey - how do you think I set the device to block caller ID Einstein? How about you read the post next time

I know this could be used for bad things but what I am trying to do is stop my customers from calling my cell phone direct.
I have a small business that I use a 888 phone number this number is routed to my cell phone and I can don lots of things with the number like have it go direct to voice mail after a certain time. Anyway I use my cell to return call to customers and once they get my cell number they now bypass the 888 number calling me at all hours of the day. What I want to do is have my 888 number show on thier caller ID when I call from my Cell phone. Is this possible? Maybe a program something anything... HELP!!! These people are driving me nuts..LOL! Any help would be grat thanks so much. I hope this is in the right area. I had a ATT 8525 and upgraded to the Tilt this weekend.

both houses of congress are trying to make this type of action illegal. have fun while you can.
Thanks but not exactly what I was looking for. I want something like SPB phone suite. It will allow me to block my caller ID from anyone that is not in my contacts list. Now what I would prefer is to just offer up my 888 number for work, I want my customer to know its my company just not my personal cell phone number.

well, try looking for something that will "spoof" your cellphone with your 888 #. you can disable your caller id # being broadcast as a temp fix, but some phones will not allow "private" listings to connect to them.
If i am not mistaken there is a setting in the Phone settings tab that will only send your number to people on your contact list and also block everyone

it will show Call id to everyone, no one, or contact list. it should show up as private or unknown if on no one or on contact list. i tried the "no one" feature before, and couldn't call and say hallo to my parents.... message stated that their line wouldn't accept unknown callers (cuts down on telemarketing).
Is there any software available for TyTn II by which i can change or disable my number to others? Please rep.
settings/ blue phone icon/ services/ caller id/ get settings/ select who you want to see your, some, all, etc... No software required. Hope this helps
Within the UK you can dial 141 before the number.
This way you can set individual contacts as private.

That would be to easy. Don't you have a more complicated solution, or maybe some over priced software you know of that would work?
My phone doesn't have those settings.

They probably need to be enabled via a reg edit or advanced config
depending on the net work there is a code that you can dial in front of the number that would block your number from showing up on the caller IDs of other phones.
ex
for t mobile is #31#
for att is *67
for sprint its normally blocked by defualt
verizon i believe is *67
but if there was a program that would allow you to change or spoof your caller ID among other people it would be nice to have

Software to change your number ...
NO .... but there are services you can use to change how your number appears to others. "It's called Spoofing"
Software to disable your number .... (where are you located?)
No need for software .. chinese chicken's "how to" is correct (if you live in the states.) You also have the option to press the "green dial key" as though you were going to make a call, then "Menu", then "Options", then "Services", select "Caller ID" and hit "Get Settings", and then select either "everyone", "no one" or "only to contacts", and ok. soft reset to ensure the settings will stick. Hope this helps
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.
I've been Googling a bit to see why the person's name doesn't show up when they call me-- only their number shows up.
I use Rogers Wireless here in Canada.
Some places said the name comes up if you call in to DISABLE the Name Display option of Caller ID, so I tried that but it still doesn't work.
now I came across some thread in 2007 saying that the Rogers Hermes ROM supports it for Windows Mobile........
Can anyone cook up a little app or find out how to get it to work? I doubt it's because I'm using an X1i in North America is it? (X1a ROM installed). For cellular Caller ID it's a universal standard right? I know that for landlines the transmitted Caller ID data is not a universal standard.
try to use Yota Dialer + Contacts
Hi
I am looking for a solution to quickly change if I want my caller id to be shown on outgoing calls.
I know there is the gsm command #31# but this doesn't work with international numbers nad sometimes even not with local numbers.
I know there is a setting in "settings" but this is quite a hassle always going through several pages of settings.
My anycut doesn'T work on Android 1.6 anymore.
So anyone has an idea for a shortcut or a widget to show and not show the caller id on outgoing calls?
Thanx
