How to hide your number (not shown on the receiver Caller ID)?

[lanwarrior]

In my old Hermes (Cingular 8525), there is an option in the Phone Settings to hide my caller ID, so that when I call someone they will not see my number on their phone.

However, with my Mogul, I don't see that option. Does anyone know how can I do this?

I miss this feature on the mogul too. But you can type *67 and the number for example the number is 18001234567 type *6718001234567

P.S. if you find a patch to do this from a menu I would love to hear about it.

Thanks for the info. But that means I can't use my "Phonebook" to dial, as I have to manually enter *67 and then the number.

Maybe some of our resident hacker can figure it out?

Do you just want to permanently hide your number from everyone you call? If so, you should be able to ask your carrier to add a "No Caller Id" code to your account...

you could edit the phonebook entry or make an aditional one that is blocked and call it their "other" number or fax or something

Hi all,

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't want to permanently block my caller ID, only for select number. I prefer to be able to change the caller ID feature on the fly without editing the phonebook, but I guess I'll have to do so until Sprint implement this feature.

Hi

I'm with Bell Canada and we have a option on their web to block caller ID. I selected this option and in my contacts I added *83 to the number I want to unblock my ID. So if I dial a new number I know that my block caller ID is on.
