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

Hi,
I cannot find the option to turn on the feature, that the name of the caller is displayed, when it is in the phonebook. Right now, only the international number is shown whe somebody calls. What do I have to configure? Thx.
Regards Heinzelrumpel
No ideas ??????
WM5 onwards it is already there.
You have to feed the number for each contact as +<country code><areacode><Number>. For example +919896312345
Hi! I am looking for a call filter program that can filter all unwanted or no number incoming calls, I tried photo contacts pro but its slow & sometimes the caller can't hear anything for 1 to 2 seconds repeatly during the conversation. I also tried MagiCall, this program is simple & nice but it can't hang up the no number calls, instead it will pass these calls to my voice mail box directly. It has a option "pick up/hang up", this works what I want but will waste the air time. So anyone can suggest a call filter program to me that can directly hang up the no number calls? Thanks!
Call Firewall
thanks for your reply, I've seen the features of this program but it doesn't mention it can block no number call or not? Do you know it has this feature or not? Thanks!
uh, sorry, can't help you there. I only HAD this program in some of the ROMs I used, never actually USED it.
And auto-rejecting no-number calls would have killed it in my book anyway, because the phone central in my office randomly removes id from outgoing ones, and so I would never receive business calls, lol.
Ask around, or better yet, try searching the forum for impressions/reviews. I know Laurentius26 uses this app in some (if not all) of his ROMs.
[EDIT]
That's what I found in the description:
Features & Options:
a. Accecpt all calls - pretty self explainatory
b. Accept call from My Contacts only - accepts calls from contacts only, others are rejected
c. Reject all calls - pretty self explainatory
d. White List - accepts calls only from the white listed nos
e. Black List - accepts all call except from the black listed nos
f. Black List Pattern - any no STARTING from the black list pattern list is rejected.
for eg. if you enter "123", so all nos STARTING from "123" will be rejected
this is a very nice option with which you can block nos from any particular network, country, city , area or whatever you can think of.
Besides, there is a check window for "Reject unknown/private calls"... I'd call it a YES, then
CallBlock
I use callBlock from WISH solutions to block a list of callers. It works well and it does not have to answer and hang up.They mention that it can block no number calls but I have not tried it for that. Here is the link:

Good luck!
Just tried the Call Firewall, it can block no number calls, but transfer the call to voice mail box directly. Anyway thanks for your suggestion
actually, this CallBlock looks like it offers a few ways of blocking the call... See picture at this address
Block method: dropdown list... Wonder what's in there? researchermd, can you check and let us know?
call firewall works just fine. I use it to block unknown or private numbers.
In addition, you can use your network settings for call barring and block numbers that aren't in your phonebook if you want the extra security of blocking numbers.
The screen you provided should be "CallBlock Ringtone Edition" which is make for palm. For the PPC version, there has no such option can be found
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 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.
I am looking for a app or widget that will turn on or off my caller id.
I would perfer a app that would show my caller id only to my contacts but i dont know if that is possible.
Anyone have any ideas?
Well I think caller ID is on the provider side of things. I guess you could dial *67 before every number you dial that is not a contact to hide your caller ID. It's what I do with my work phone when I don't want people calling me back lol
I don't recall the names, but there are apps that allow you to pre/post pend to a dialed number before the call goes out. Some of them have a rich rule set also.
Tasker may be able to do it.
Under settings then Call Settings then All calls then "Show my number" you can select "send / Hide / By network"
A app that with one push i can toggle "Send" or "Hide" the caller id is what i am looking for.
Any help anyone
