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?

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...

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 ?!!
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
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 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
I have set my phone up to use the built in SIP support. (settings -> calls -> internet call settings)
However when an unknown (as in not previously saved number, but not hidden) number has called, it's listed in the call history with the name of the last saved contact on the phone.
This does not happen with incoming calls via the mobile number, only via the SIP. I don't know if it's the "@<ip address>" that's added to the end of a phone number that causes the issue.
Does anyone have an idea have to resolve this?
