What you're looking for is a way to spoof your callerId. So far no one has written an app to do that for the windows mobile platform - although there is one for both the iphone and blackberry..grrrrr
I know there are services you can use to do this - like spoofcard or something like that...but if I remember right they call charge you by the minute ....
Would be nice if someone would write such an app.....
ok i know that the app exist for the windows causei had it for the dash it was awesome... i know it has to be somewhere ou here i got it here orginally...
isn't the dash a smartphone maybe its they don't have a pocket pc version..... not sure though
can someone confirm a working app for windows mobile? sounds interesting
Hmm, sounds like an interesting feature. I didn't realize such things were possible. I also heard that the Nokia E71 had the ability to see who the person you're calling is talking to (if the number you're calling happens to be busy). Strange that such functions aren't available on WM.
Anyway, the T-Mobile Dash is a WM5.0 phone, so I would think that there is, indeed, a Windows Mobile software that can do this (at the very least, it exists in the phone).
Theoretically speaking, one would be able to pull the software out of the OS, right?
Interesting - because I have searched high-and-low for such software for Windows Mobile and I haven't not seen one - so if one truely exists I'd like to see it.
If the guy that supposedly had it on his dash - do you still have the phone? if so I can walk you though how to copy it off that phone so it can be put on another.
Anyway I haven't seen such an app - I gotta see it.
sorry took so long had a long ass day of werk but yeah... i dont have the dash anymore it got burned up in a bar b q gone wrong.... but yeah i actualy got the sotware from a friend he said he found it here on the xda developer site... but thn again i have also searched high n low here and have found nothing... i tried google... but i think i keep asking for the wrong thing.... but yeah i would give anything for that again it was great used to call my boss n he always though i was in my office... plus its fun to mess aorund with frineds.. lol but yeah i also read up on that what was posted earlier about being able to see who the other person is talking to to ... but it was all very sketchy....
ok got more info is a caller id Spoofer see if anyone else can find anything interesting...
As unfortunate as it is, I think that the app has been lost with your BBQ Dash. I have tried searching up and down Google and XDA-Developers and while quite a few interesting apps has appeared under my radar, no caller ID spoofing software appears to exist. Well, at least not for Windows Mobile anyway as I'm sure anyone doing a similar search will know.
However, some bit of good news: I found something that may be satisfactory enough. Some of you may have seen this, but the service is called 'Bluff My Call'. It is a paid service, but you are allowed to make a free spoofed call so long as it is under two minutes.
Here is the link: http://bluffmycall.com/free/
The company has developed an app to use the service, but unfortunately, it's only for BlackBerry and iPhone. This means that the only way for Windows Mobile users to use the service is through the Internet. Is it possible to do it through your phone's Internet browser? Maybe, but I haven't tried.
Furthermore, the ability to mask your voice and record the call is not allowed without an account. The latter is not important since recording software exists, but the lack of voice masking is pretty disappointing.
Sorry guys, but this looks like the best we got.

That's interesting - because I've never seen such an app like that posted on this site - and I'm sure I probably would of noticed.
Any chance you can get a hold of yer friend that gave it to you in the first place? Perhaps he still has an install for it or at least the actual name of the thing?
Check your state laws as I know in my state of Louisiana, spoofing your caller ID is now illegal here.
anyone got anything on this yet?!
I'm still keeping an eye out too. If I find one I'll post to this thread - but the moment such an application for WM simply does not exist.
yea, hopefully someone comes up with something...if another phone is able to have it..i dont see wut the problem is to get it to winmobile
If I am reading this correctly, the OP is looking for basically a WM VOIP app that runs thru one of the Caller ID spoofing websites. One is not actually making a voice call thru their own service provider.
I know that my data plan prohibits doing VOIP, but as with anything, penalties depend on getting caught.

Actually he did know WHAT the program does, he simply doesn't know how to use it. Give him a break.
Now as per the program, if anyone has a Dash or any other Windows Mobile device with this capability please post on this thread and we will help you help the community by making a copy of it from your phone.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can suggest or if there exists a program to block incoming calls?
I've only been able to google MagiCall ...
Anyone found a good freeware?
Can't find any threads on this...

spb phone suite...works a charm...not freeware tho...pay for it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384126
damn, none of them seem to be free
Getting 1800 calls every hour... lol ****
well theres no free lunch in the world...phone suite is good tho and its only 20 bux...and theres more u can do in phone suite than just blocking calls why not download a trial and see if u like it or not
I've been using Magicall for about a year now, first with my 8525 and now with my tilt. There is no other filter then magicall. Trust me if you google you will find it as a freeware. Remember google is your friend. Try looking for magicall ppc warez or something with free maybe you will find. But I don't know if any one here is going to give you the cab. Search and you will find. Again magicall is the best, I tried others but none of them stand up to magicall.
Thanks for the suggestions guys...
Bapssy: Im also on fido... do you constantly get 1800 number calls from telemarketers?
Ever since I signed up, I've been getting them over in toronto. Apparently their office is around where I live... maybe I'll just pay them a visit...
nope i never get them...not that i remember of...so that means even if i do its probably once or twice...but cant u just not pick it up...and just let it ring or silent the ring? i know thats kinda annoying tho

I'm sure that the mods would not appreciate advocating for warez (ESPECIALLY in a developers forum). Anyway, search for Call Firewall here on xda and it should get the job you want done. Although I've been using magicall for a while and have found it to be vastly superior than other filtering suites.
That is what I do right now, I press ignore...
But that means I have to leave it on vibrate or silence...
Very annoying...
again I'm not trying to get on your nervse but try magicall that will get rid of all that. One good thing about it is, they have one function
I use for someone I don't want to talk to (old girlfriends or 1-800 #'s) or I don't want them to here a voice message. This function will pick up the phone and hang up on them everytime they call and you don't have to do anything except sign there number to that function.
.
i understand how u feel...but as for freeware u gonna have to search...but theres plenty of non free ones...like i said u can download a trial on the spb website and just test n see if it works out good for u..then u can decide whether u wanna pitch out for the program
Going to give call firewall a shot
Otherwise its -$25 outta my pockets..

Spb Phone Suite has a new Release Candidate beta 2 if you search in there forum.
Here; http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16436
I like PhotoContactsPro 5.
It has advance filtering so you can specify how the phone handles each caller (either by group, individual, etc). You can specify the program to either send it to VM, pickup + hangup (love this feature!), send to VM and send a SMS, etc. It can also do group or individual ringtones.
It blows up the caller Pic to a full screen as well. For me, its a must have program. But for $29.99 NO. I think its worth $24.99 the most.
But besides the price, im very happy with this one.

Hello Guys,
I notice newbies or sometimes, even regulars asking stupid questions. To save space on XDA, here are some examples that you should steer away from. Take this seriously and it's all in good fun. Before I show you some examples, this is to show that some questions are either already answered in the forum, or use your common sense or finally, if you have no common sense - READ the forum. Everyone was once a newbie but how did we all get here? We searched, read and maybe asked a question here and there, but valid questions. So use the "Search" button, find yourself a topic and seek knowledge. We're all here to help but don't flood the forum with stupid questions. This is to teach all newbies to avoid these kind of questions and cut the regulars some slack. From nowonwards, whatever DUMB thread I find, I will trash it and post the link here.

i have a htc touch pro (australian version)
just keep some celophane or a plastic grocery bag in ur car.. wrinkle it around etc then hang up.. works like a charm
hahaha.. thats funny dude..nahhh,, really does any1 have a real answer??? software answer..
I don't have an answer but if you do find it someplace I would love to get it so remember to post it up.
Use caution...
I was traveling with an acquaintance a few years ago, and he had recorded a bunch of background noises (traffic in a cab, airport sounds, etc.) on a small voice recorder that he used when he wanted to, um, 'change the context' of a conversation he was having on his cell phone. One day I was with him in a, um, 'social club' when he got a call from his boss - he stepped outside (I went with him to have a smoke), he turned on the airport sounds and called his boss back. He was explaining to his boss that he was stuck at the airport in San Diego due to a cancelled flight and probably would have to stay over another night (we were actually in a small town over the border in Mexico that shall remain nameless). He had his recording turned up pretty loud, and during his conversation I heard from the recorder 'Flight 1234 to San Diego is now boarding, all passengers...'. He didn't notice the discrepency, but apparently his boss did, and when he got back to work the next week he was marched into the HR department, and was let go a few days later.

On a more serious note, Gigabyte includes SW that does this with some of their phones. If you can find someone with a Gigabyte phone and get them to send you the .cab with the SW, you can try it out.

Symbian programs are not compatible with Windows Mobile smartphones. It's not just a matter of converting the .sis into a .cab. The complete program must be rewritten for Windows Mobile.
I'm sorry to disappoint you but Symbian and Windows Mobile are completely different OS platforms. The program can't be "converted".

I remember when i had the T-Mobile DASH, I bought an app called SNIPER. What it pretty much did is detect all bluetooth's in the area where i was located and i was able to send messages with a hidden name to all the people that had there bluetooth on. Any chances of an app like that making its way to the android? or is the andriod still at a young stage for app like that to be coming out? im not saying it will be posted in the "MARKET" but i wonder if someone will ever make it and post it on sites like this or other sites? can i get some feedback on this?
Anyone? Does anyone know of what app I'm talking about? 200 something views and no feerd back?
341 views and yet anyone has to comment on this idea for an app? why is this? are you guys scared to comment? did i break the forms rules? (i hope i didn't) has no one ever used the app called SNIPER on there T-Mobile Dash? come on people i need feedback.

Just like the other 300+ views. I'm viewing this post, however I will reply. Most people "Do Not" reply because they do not have anything to offer not because they don't want to, maybe its because they don't know.
why did you use that app? just to mess around with people?
doesn’t bluetooth need a pairing code to connect devices?
I used to use a app like that on my S60 phone, But you see as I remember it, the other person still had to accept that you were requesting a connection. Which that being said, I doubt many people really WANT to go bluetooth apps. I mean after that Virus thing.. would you trust someone sending you something?
I had sniper on my n95. For anybody that hasn`t heard of it, its a bluejacking application.
What we need is an app that can send a note via bluetooth.
I was hoping since BlueX was released a bluejacking program may be out soon.
oh BTW I notice Bluex`s next update may include a ftp browser over bluetooth. That would be great, means you could hack phones in a similar method to a samsung
I don't think the Android SDK even provides Bluetooth libraries yet.

There's one thats called gfinder or something similar. I'll try and find the exact name unless someone else can chime in.
When I first went into the t-mobile store to check out the g1, they showed me something similiar to what you are asking but the downfall was that other g1 users had to opt in to use it. For some reason I thought it was part of the original cupcake software
Now that I checked, it is right in google maps, called latitude

You have to add friends but the gfinder or gfindster just see's everyone, but of course they would have to have the app installed. I used it a long time ago and didn't think much of it. While looking that up I saw another app called loopt that looks like the same thing, I could be wrong tho.
Latitude works for everybody. Not just G1 users. It uses your Gmail account to send request to other people who have to accept you and allow you to see where they are at and chat and stuff. Works nicely, but you have to know their e-mail address to get them added.
So, no you can not find random people with G1's to connect with. I don't know if there is an app that will allow that, but Latitude will not.
I believe you have to opt in to use it, general people on there and since it requires your gps to use, I don't think that you will find any one using except for the most basic users that are unaware that turning off the gps saves you some serious battery life
Aight I just looked it up and its call GFindster PREMIUM but they also have a lite version.
Hmmm, seems like the salesman at t-mobile gave me the wrong info then but since I never used it, I was baseing my info on inacurate info, sorry

No your right cause they was pushing the whole latitude thing. But GFindster is just a seperate app that looks up anyone without having them listed as friends.
thankyou
Thankyou you all for your help I will check out the gfindster app and see how it goes.
you should also check out buddymob
shows where all users are on a map around you and you can click on their little dot (pink for women, blue for guys) and it will show you their profile without having to be their friend
