Hello all,
Just wondering if anyone can help with a question and hope this is in right forum.
Does anyone know how these banner ads get your phone number?
I have had three explanations:
The banner ad and an email from the company say that they contact my service provider and the SP supply the number.
My service provider tell me they absolutely do not give customers numbers to third parties.
Via a phone call to the company they said it requires the user to enter their phone number and click submit. (I know for sure this didn't happen.)
Don't know which to believe now!
Would appreciate anyone who knows more about this if they could let me know.
Thanks
Rob

Hi,
Can anyone help me finding an application that is able to track and show multiple mobile phones?
The reason why im asking is that we(my company) are switching from normal nokia 6300 phones to (probably) HTC Snap phone to be use with our incident management system.
I want to be able to track and trace staff on a map to see who is nearest to a new incoming call to help our incident analyst dispatch a call more effectively.
Can someone please help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

TrackMe seems overkill, but GPSToday might be able to do it, with each of the folks submitting their updates to the same private group that you can view? There are likely others as well which work in an automated fashion.
Can dispatcher wait about 2 minutes to get location or must all staff locations be known at time call is received so that dispatcher can advise caller which staff member is assigned?
Message me with your contact details to discuss further.
Moved as not software release...
Please read all of the following -
I have set-up a service that will reveal the phone number of any prank caller / someone who withholds their phone number.
It does cost me to do this so obviously I can't reveal how it works (against the community posting rules here)
I am and this service is UK based and perfectly legal (obviously!)
At the moment, a google search will reveal that nobody else can do this anywhere.....
WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR...
I am looking for 5-10 volunteers to test the service and give feedback - Ideally regular contributors/members who have been on this site for a while
Please note that I won't be able to reply to everyone!
It won't cost you anything other than maybe 1 inclusive minute!
HOW THE TEST WILL WORK...
You must be UK based
You simply use any phone to ring a unique UK based number that I will give you - making sure you withhold your number. I will contact you with the actual number you called from.
This is classed as a standard UK based mobile number and will only come out of your free minutes. If you have any doubts, it's simple - move on, I'm not here to con anyone, and I know that I am a new user etc... but follow your instincts - if in doubt...move on!
IF YOU WANT TO VOLUNTEER...
Send me a private message, a quick note about who you are and to confirm that you are UK based! I will forward you the details you need. At the moment, the service takes a number of hours to work - eventually this will be instant. I won't be able to respond to everyone!
WHY AM I POSTING HERE...
Because I was sick of nobody being able to tell me who was pranking me with a private / withheld number - in the end I had to change my phone number. I scoured the web - and there wasn't a solution - so I created one.
Like I said, the testing part is free - and I can't reveal how it works because it does cost me to reveal a withheld / private number and rules here prevent me from charging people for a service
SO...
If you meet the criteria above, and want to test the service and provide some feedback in this thread, please contact me.
Otherwise, I welcome any other constructive comments and I will attempt to respond! - don't ask me how it works - read above to see why!

Hi Everyone,
Want to reach a company representative without pressing a button?Try I Dial it
iDialit was created to help people reach a customer service representative without pressing any numbers or having to select any menu options. Just pick a company, click it and wait for a representative to pick up.
Trying to reach at&t, Verizon, Sprint, T mobile, Your bank, car insurance company .... ? Don’t want to guess what option gets you to a representative ? Then just click on the company name and wait till a person picks up the call. Our dialer will dial the company’s phone number and press the required digits so you won’t have to dial any numbers.
I Dial It is currently in beta, so please bear with us as we are constantly adding more numbers and modifying the app to make your dialing experience as pleasant as possible. If you have a favorite company that is not in our database then please use the suggest company menu option to let us know and we will try our best to add it for you.
Currently we support calling to Major Banks , Car insurance companies , Credit Card companies , Wireless Carriers , Shipping Companies and much more ... for a full list of companies we support please install application.
Link to market : Im new so i cannot post a link to the market but the app can be found by searching for iDialit as one word on the android market.
Im really new at this so please give me feedback.
Thank you all for looking and commenting
Cheers

Sorry, the IMEI code is private to its own users. Unless you disclose it to someone else, I don't think its possible. But of course, govt. organizations like Police can track this. I don't think end users can implement this, as it creates legal problems.
i think you can only know yourself imei. it is no way to incoming call imei.

yes but i mean, if the IMEI "travels" with the rest of the message (a call or a SMS), i think its preatty easy that it ends on the other phone too?
i know there was an app for nokia, time ago, that could help you to know who was making private calls, and it was based on the IMEI.
and if i know the IMEI of someone.. thats illegal?
in reality im asking this, to know if the IMEI i can read over my phone, is the same as the one that gets tracked by the phone companies (i know it sounds strange, but flashing my s2 ive accidentally changed my imei, but somehow this new IMEI, that is something the phone creates automatically, is not blocked in my country, so i can still use it.
Please I need a USA android user to help me register TextMe. Would really appreciate if someone could do that for me. Thanks in advance
please I need this urgently, someone should please help
It's not possible for someone to help you with this. The whole point of the verification is to verify that it's your phone and number and that you can use the service.

No that's not the point. The point is,when you register from the US it gives you an option to have a free USA virtual number, whereas when you register from outside the US it doesn't give that option. All I need is someone who could help me register it with their phone so that I would be able to have the US number generated within the app itself. I will provide an email. it doesn't require any verification of number. you can delete the app afterwards
