ive searched the forums and wot i have found is old and outdated.
so was wondering if any1 can help... how can we block withheld numbers?
i know we cant hack to view them because the number het withheld at the start.
i know the service providers cant stop them either,
ppl say theres codes like *227# but these dont seem to work any more.
so... are there codes or a programme we can put to stop getting withheld calls? very annoying when they ring at 1am!!
cheers.
Do a search for Call Firewall
i use that but it quite often stops and closes. so when i think its running its really not.

Hello,
I've searched through the forum and haven't found an answer to my problem.
I need to know when a call is forwarded to me - me and a friend from my office have call forwarding when for eg. my all lines are engaged or I'm out of the network area then someone calling me will be connected with him and vice versa. But hte problem is that we don't know when someone is calling me or him. In f.e. Nokia phones there is a distinction between this, it looks like this:
Someone is calling me directly, it looks like this:
+4822123456
The call is diverted, it looks like this:
> +4822123456
Is there any way to know when a call is diverted in HTC phones with WM5 or WM6?? If it helps - my pda is HTC TyTN.
can anyone help?? Maybe someone can at least tell if he ever saw anything like this on HTC palmtops?
A slight kick, but does anyone already know a solution for this? If someone could develop it, I'll be more then happy to pay for the feature!
Hi there,
I'm sure you've probably overheard someone before say "I've got someone calling me that I don't recognise, anyone know what country starts +33?". I have too and would like to resolve it.
Does anyone know of a piece of software or hack which, when the number is not recognised on an incoming call, display the name of the calling country instead of the contact name?
Thanks!
Yeah that would be really helpful. I've been looking for something like this for ages now.
its not what your looking for but may help.

Does anyone know how to remove Verizon's "City ID" app from a Win Mobile phone? I have seen lots of talk about removing it from Android phones, but not Win Mobile. There is no entry for it, under Remove Programs.
If you don't know, the "City ID" app adds its best guess as to the originating city and state for incoming calls, and tags the call as such on the display, and in the past calls list.
Verizon charges for this app after a brief trail period. If you dare to not pay for it, it doesn't self-uninstall. Instead, it starts to tag all incoming calls as "Unknown".
Sorry, but I find each call stating its origin as "Unknown" annoying. Besides, I would think the Win Mobile might be able to get the call's origin from an address in the Directory, but I bet "City ID" is blocking/overriding/inhibiting that.
Does anyone have any clue or hints on this?
Interesting, I didn't realize this was a paid app. I got it to work on my GW825 which is running on a different network. I wonder what would happen after 15 days? I'm guessing it would stop working.
Do you still need help with this?

If it simply stopped working, I would not have a problem. The problem is that it continues to work, but returns simply "unknown" as the call's originating city.
I rather have a blank (ie, nothing) than "unknown" displayed.
What happens if you change this to 0?
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Phone\CallerLocation]

So I was googling for an answer and my research has come up with absolutely squat to solve my solution. So I am hoping someone here can come up with an answer for me.
I had for the last few phones a bunch of WM phones where they have the option to block my outgoing caller ID to non contacts. I am fully aware that Android offers in the options setting to either block it to all outgoing (which isn't of value because it blocks it also to people who I could care less if they have my number) and the other option to show it to everyone (which I'd rather not some people have my number or it be left on a call log so random people couldn't call back from the phone or employees who I simply dislike not getting my non office number) or the last option to use the standard carrier option which is the same as the last which falls under the same reason.
Does anyone have a solution where I can block my number other than dialing *67 to non contacts to block my number as a standard option that the phone would automatically do like WM used to do?
I don't know if this has any truth to it, but I found this info
I have a Captivate from AT&T. It has the Android OS and it does have a setting to withhold your number from people who are not in your contacts. You go to call settings, all calls, show my number, and choose By network.
With that said, you should be aware that on AT&T's network this only works if you don't update your phone with firmware update 2.1 update 1. AT&T had this function turned off in this update because they want to charge people $2 a month to withhold your number from people that do not have you in their contacts. I found this out the hard way after I updated. I spent all morning talking to tech support for both Samsung and AT&T. Tech support at Samsung told me that it does not say in the release notes for the update that this function was going to be disabled in that update. Samsung also told me that AT&T decides what is in the maintenance updates. AT&T's customer service said I could pay $2 a month for the function and AT&T's tech support said all they can do is revert the phone back to the old firmware. Maybe if enough AT&T customers complain they will have the function turned back on in the next update.

So it sounds like the Captivate could do it, but then ATT blocked the feature with a firmware update, and offered to give it back for $2/month. I'll keep digging and see if I can find anything else
Have you tried spoofapp? I don't know if caller ID spoofing would be acceptable for your need or not. I've never used it, so I don't know what kind of configuration it would take, but it seems like a hassle. You "place" the call, spoofapp calls you back, when you answer it connects your call with the desired spoofed ID

yeah I looked at it but you have to pay credits into the thing which means paying on a regular basis. So kind of defeating the purpose of it. I do appreciated the look around for it though. I saw the same post either on here or android central.
Just an FYI, many people, myself included won't answer calls where somebody has blocked their Caller ID. That's why we have Caller ID in the first place, so we know who's calling

You miss the point, if you are on the contact list you would be privy to seeing my ID come up anyways. Its people that don't need to have a non work private number that are not deserving of it since you really don't want people from work having the number unless its needed.

Make a Google voice account. When you don't want people to have your regular number, call them with GV and they will have that number.

has anyone seen this? no esn cloning and you would have to use google voice for the phone calls and text etc. i have to assume this doesnt work, but would be nice if it did work.
ive seen a few things on VPN or PROXY settings but nothing concrete.
Even if it did work it would be illegal. Chances are this is just a scam to get money from people.
