Caller ID How do I block Caller ID from giving my name and number when i make calls?

If you subscribe to Caller ID service, your phone can block calls from up to 20 specific phone numbers. This is called the BLOCK LIST. It can also block any call that does not provide a phone number with the Caller ID. This is called CALLS WITHOUT NUMBERS. In either case, the caller will hear a busy signal, and the call will be disconnected.

To add phone numbers to the BLOCK LIST:
When the phone is idle, press MENU/SELECT.
Press VOLUME? until you see Call Block, then press MENU/SELECT.
Block list is displayed. Press MENU/SELECT.
Press VOLUME? until you see Add new entry, then press MENU/SELECT.
Enter the complete phone number of the party you wish to block, then press MENU/SELECT.
Enter the name of the party, then press MENU/SELECT.

To activate the CALLS WITHOUT NUMBERS feature:
When the phone is idle, press MENU/SELECT.
Press VOLUME? until you see Call Block, then press MENU/SELECT.
Press VOLUME? until you see Calls w/o num, then press MENU/SELECT.
Press VOLUME? until you see Block, then press MENU/SELECT. All calls without a phone number will be blocked.

Did you change carriers? A lot of the VoIP carriers like vonage and magic jack will only give you the telephone number on caller id, but not the name.

I have magic jack now and they call that "caller id", but having moved from a carrier that had name attachment i assumed all caller id's had name and phone number both...but not so

There is no option on this phone to restrict the caller ID.

If the number is XXXXXX up as 'Restricted' then it can only happen if you dial *67 at the beginning of the number you want to call to block you caller ID information. Or, you can also call Verizon and have caller ID blocked for every number.

If this is happening for every number, then you will need to call Verizon and have them deactivate the caller ID restriction.

i found the answer at http://support.sprint.com/support/article/Block_your_Caller_ID_on_your_outgoing_calls/case-wh164052-20100907-100732?&INTNAV=SU:SP:HDIB

Last Updated: Sep 08, 2010You can block your Caller ID information (name and phone number) on a call-by-call basis. Just dial *67 before dialing the number you're calling, and your information will not show up on their Caller ID display.you can also go to http://support.sprint.com/support/article/Know_the_difference_between_restrict_and_block_on_Caller_ID/case-wh164052-20100907-101149?&INTNAV=SU:SP:HDILast Updated: Sep 08, 2010Restrict Caller ID is a restriction that is placed on your account to completely block your information (name and phone number) from being displayed on any call you make. This has to be done by contacting our Customer Care team.Block Caller ID is something you can do yourself directly on your phone by dialing *67 before the number you're calling. This only affects one call at a time, so you have to dial the code before every call you want to block your Caller ID.**************i did some research and found the answer, please provide me with FAIR feed back i.e. 3 or 4 thumbs up. according to sprints website and also htc support forum there is no way to block the caller id automatically. dont kill the messanger i just wanted to pass the info found on htc and through sprint.

Caller ID on cellular phones works different than on landline phones. Unless the person calling is saved to your phonebook, it will tell you the number of the person calling, but not the name (unless the person calling has caller ID blocking, in which case it will say blocked). There is not way to change this, as it is a limitation of cellular caller ID systems.

In some instances the caller might have caller-id blocked or a *67 manaul caller id block.

You are correct if you have a duplicate contact entry it does not show the name of the caller incoming.

Hi

Thanks for using FixYa. I think you have stored more than 100 Caller ID messages and hence the caller ID is not showing on Uniden Tru8888. In the following cases the caller ID will not be shown-

If you answer a call before the Caller ID message is received (for example, before the second ring), the Caller ID message will not appear.

When the call is received via a telephone company that does not offer Caller ID service, the caller’s phone number and name does not appear. (This includes some international calls.)

When the call is via a private branch exchange (PBX), the caller's phone number and name may not appear.

You may receive any one of the following messages:

When a private name is received; Private Name
When a private number is received; Private Number
When a unknown name is received; Unknown Name
When a unknown number is received; Unknown Number
When invalid data is received; Incomplete Data

The Caller ID list stores information for incoming calls - even unanswered calls. You can store up to 100 Caller ID messages and phonebook entries (including Speed Dials) for each handset and the base. You can view the Caller ID list through the handset or base during a call or when the phone is in standby mode.

Memory locations for Caller ID messages and Phonebook entries (including Speed Dials) are common, you can store up to all 100 entries for each handset and the base. Caller ID messages are not stored when you have 100 phonebook entries. When you have stored a total of 100 phonebook entries and Caller ID messages, the oldest Caller ID message is overwritten.

Please do rate the solution and revert for further assistance.


Thanks

• If you answer the call, the number (or number and name) stays on the display until either you or the caller hangs up.
• If you do not answer the call, most display units keep a record of the calls received, including the phone number (or number and name), date, and time.
• If the letter P, priv, private, or a similar term appears, the caller may have blocked the display of his or her number.
• If the letter O, ????, out of area, or a similar message appears, the caller either is in an area that does not support Caller ID or has placed the call using operator assistance.
• Caller ID comes with Anonymous Call Rejection, which, when active, allows you to reject calls from callers who block their number. Your phone does not ring, and the caller hears a message saying blocked calls will not go through.
• To turn on Anonymous Call Rejection, press
  *77 on a touch-tone phone (or dial 1177 on a rotary phone)

• To turn off this service, press
  *87 on a touch-tone phone (or dial 1187 on a rotary phone)
