I always had my outgoing calls show "private" until I went to T-Mobile -- apparently, their phones let you restrict ALL your calls (but you can"t use the *82 feature to unblock a call) or you have to turn off the restriction and then dial the *67 for a call where you want your number blocked. So, when I had my Pearl, I just dialed *67 whenever I wanted to block my #.

Well, I just made a *67 call today to a company (not an 800 number) to place an order and they knew my number without me telling them (I asked if they had caller ID and they said yes). So, I tried calling a friend on her cell phone with my number blocked (*67 and then also with the restriction on) and both times she said my number showed up.

Does anyone else have this problem?


Thanks!

Click the green call button , go into options,, and there's an option to restrict identity, , you can turn it on and off, works like a charm

I restrict my Identity all the time selectively using the Phone/Options/Restrict my identity feature....works like a champ.

Thanks, but I need to have my number unblocked for the majority of my calls and *82 to unblock doesn't work in restricted mode so I just turn the restriction off and do the *67 thing for the few times I need to keep my number private.. So my problem is that *67 doesn't work.

Do you guys actually go into options each time you make a call to turn the restriction on or off?

edit

T-Mobile does not use standard codes. To block your number for a call dial #31# followed by the number and make the call. So a phone number would look like this: #31#7145551212.

Thats all you need.

Okay, well I just tried this.. First I did *67 to my other cell, # came up blocked. I then did it normal and my Tmo # showed, then I tried the #31# and it again came up blocked.

I dont know why you *67 didn't work, it worked for me fine. And my call identity restriction is set to off, so i show up on peoples caller id..

weird

i open the phone options and restrict it manually

This service is an option in the HLR (users profile database), this service need to be enabled to work. Try calling your carrier.

Thanks everyone.

OK, so I tried them all out again this morning and the restrict identity option is now working. But when I have the phone off restriction, *67 doesn't work but the #31# does.


Thanks for your help.

Anyone have a list of these #xx# feature codes for the various carriers? I'm interested in Tmobz and AT&T mostly...

Thanks

Ive searched everywhere for this answer....thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
