I searched the whole wide web but couldn't find a caller ID toggle. I am not talking about *67 that would work if you want to dial a number manually. But what if you have a number on your contact list? What if you want to block and unblock the caller ID for all the dialed numbers?
They haven't made a toggle for windows mobile yet, or at least according to my research. But that is when I take things into my hands.
Here we going to use two SPEED DIAL. Pick your favorite key, I got 2 and 3 since 1 is reserve for the Voice Mail.
first get add these two contact, either to the SIM or Phone Memory.
First name them anything you choose, but I would name it Block and UnBlock
Block add this number *31# for Unblock add this number #31# . Okay now that you got these two contact saved in your phone book, go a head and use it as your SPEED DIAL, Hit on the phone Key, Menu, and go to Speed Dial and add that to your favorite key, I would advice first block and 2nd unblock= just easy to remember, and now you have your own caller id toggle.
You can use the toggle while you on the call or not, say you want to call someone, bring out your keyboard hit the Speed Dial key for block, and now you can add a call from your contact list or dial a number and your phone number wouldn't show to that party, And supposed you have called a number without showing your ID, but want the next person to see your number, just hit the unblock speed dial and that other party would see your ID.
Have fun with it. I know many of you know how to do this, but it's for someone like me, or those who don't know...so please don't leave smart comments, and I wouldn't be checking this thread so...I really don't care if anyone here is being mean.

I have a contract with my cellphone company that provides me besides normal cellphone service, unlimited calls to a group of people in my country, all people in that group are identified with an aditional short phone number, so we have two phone numbers in our SIM, the normal one and the short one.
Happens that we use the short number to call ourserlves in the group (we could also use the normal number, but that'd be charged in my invoice as a normal call), but the normal phone number is always shown in our phones as incoming number when receiving a call from the group or outside, and that's how it is saved in call log.
So, in my contacts list, each contact has the two numbers added (I've set the normal phone number as cell phone number, and the short number as work phone).
Now the problem, the way smartdialer in WinMo5 and later work is to show the last call (made/missed/received) of every contact, then contacts list (if contact not already shown before), and after receiving a call from the group in my case the normal number is shown, and there's no way to use the short number to reply, unless I take the long path and go to contacts list and choose the contact and number manually; usually I'm in a hurry and just forget and call the contact using smartdialing and happens that the normal number is dialed.
I had no problem using smardialing with WinMo2003 as there was an option to choose a default number when there were multiples numbers on a contact, so, no matter what number a contact used to call me, when using smartdialing the default number was always chosen, I see no equivalent in WinMo5 or later.
Now, is there a way to replicate that behavior from WinMo2003? (registry/patch/etc.), thanks for taking the time to read.
P.D. the same can be said when we have multiples numbers in a contact (work/home/etc.) and receive calls from some of them but just want to reply to just one of them.
Okay, we have times when we want to hide our caller's ID, we don't want our number to be noticed by the call receiving party! Yet it is so much to go through, first hitting the phone button, clicking the options, selecting caller ID, hitting the get settings, and now select provide my caller ID to "NO ONE". Took me like forever, and now I have to select the person's number from the phone book, if I still remember who I was trying to call! LOL
So I know there got to be a way!, Create a Caller ID's toggle, hit it to show or hide caller ID, simply and then select the number you want to dial and you can hide your caller ID.
Anything like that? I know I used to have the simmon's phone back in the days, when I needed to hide a caller's ID, I would just hold the 8 key and it would hide the caller's ID. Now the toggle was assigned to the 8# key, but I think if that is too much to do, why not just have a toggle, just as we have it for the bluetooth or other phone's options.
Is it possible?
Dial *67 and your # not a good enough work around? You can always add *67 to specific #'s you call regularly to not see your callerid.
there is also an option to hide your # when calling someone who is not in your address book
hi, at least in europe you can use this codes to switch the 'CLIR' function of your mobile:
*31# submits your number to the called party on for all calls.
#31# submits your number to the called party off for all calls.
*#31# show the current 'CLIR' state
*31#number to call submits your number to the called party on only for the next call.
#31#number to call submits your number to the called party off only for the next call.
maybe this works for your network also.
Thanks, *67 could be an easy way...but supposed you have a phone number on your PhoneBOOK that just has to be blocked once? And you are driving? and you don't have a pen...some people here are just stupid...I already know that...I am looking for a CALLER ID TOGGLE, if you don't know anything just don't be smart and post anything.
Good day. Sometimes when calling new numbers, you don't want them to see your number. I would like to know how to automatically hide your phone's number when calling new numbers and then automatically switching back (if one desires) so your number gets shown.
Does Android have this functionality or there is an app for this?
Thanks.
when you call a number user in front of the number #31# and you will call with hidden call id.
when use #31# you will call with hidden id, when you don't use you call normaly/

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks, but i was wondering if there is an instant "touch solution" where you simply pull up contact and choose option to call from hidden number or when you call first time new number.
Where did you learn about #31# by the way?
I don't remember but you can find many usefull information about this on google/wiki.
i.e code for hidden calls or something like that!

I don't mean Fake Call apps, but to input a phone number and let the phone simulate a call from that person.
That is, have the phone automatically present the matching name, picture and ringtone of that phone number.
Question is not clear sorry
If u are asking for a simulation(like he is calling u) u can use fake caller apps from market
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.agilestorm.fakecall.free&hl=en
there is no app to spoof the calls (call from another number !)
please make questions more specific to let us help u
I think all he want is an app that let the user choose a contact from his contacts list and fake that call which includes his photo etc. Its just like a normal call from his friend, except its fake.
I don't want to select a contact.
I only want to supply a phone number and then simulate how the phone reacts to that number. That is, after simulating a call from that number, the phone should present the matching name, photo and ringtone.
Trying to figure out whether this is normal behavior for the S22 Ultra, and if so, why is such an obvious flaw is not fixed?
Call comes in and the phone properly shows the Caller ID name, which is obviously super helpful. Once the call is logged in the Recents List, however, only the number shows and I no longer remember who the call came from, and have no way to get it. I believe the same is true for outgoing calls, where the Caller ID tech identifies the name of who you're calling once you dial the number, but again you're left with just the number and no name in the Recents List.
So why in the world wouldn't the phone be able to capture that name data and store it for future use without having to specifically save that number as a contact, and although I haven't tried to do this yet, would the name at least be saved then, or would I have to manually enter it all over again?
Unless i'm missing something, this Caller ID Name feature seems half baked at best. Sure, it's good to get that name when the call comes in, but it you're not around or if you need to know who had called a day earlier, you're completely out of luck!
