Hi!
I bought two LG IQ cell phones from telus. Those phones are for my kids,and right now they don't need a data plan. They will probably use some Internet on wii fii , so I would like to know how can I block Internet connection.I don't want to pay for connection. Any ideas how to do it? Thanks

your current settings may be locked though; if they are I will hunt down the registry settings to unlock them.
Those smartphones are new to me Thanks for help I will try this. I have another question though.I have notice that I have to pay extra money every month to have caller ID,so I am wondering if there are apps with caller ID? Thanks
What do you mean by caller id? if you have a persons name and number in your contact list when they call their name will show up. I would not pay for caller id.
ok Thanks again for your help!

Actually, I have same question too. I don't have CallerID feature. When people call, it only shows "Unknown", even I have that phone # and name on my contact list. Any solution? Thanks.

Did somebody know how to disable functionality in Phone mode that is sending Your Phone number ID, to the call receiver?....or in other words...is it possible make anonimous phone calls?..
tnx
There are 2 ways. Ask your provider to permanently switch off caller id or go to Start - Settings - Personal - Phone - Services - Caller ID - Get Settings - No one

Of course, you realize that the Cell Phone company still knows you made the call, and whom you called? So it is anonymous only to the receiving party, not in any permanent sense.
Yeah, we should fix that too ! No more bills (Big OR small) :lol:
should be interesting in fact....aha....thanks to ZERIMAR... i was able to redefine the settings avoiding to send ID nr. to my frends......
Didn't the GSM network have anoption never to show Call-ID, unless you put some code in front of the tel.number ?
Or was it the other way around ?
Instead of permanently disable Call ID forwarding through Phone->Settings as suggested, in Italy we have also a code you can put before the number you're calling that disable the ID just for that call. The code is *06#. Maybe other countries are using the same code too, don't know.

Yea it is but if i want t permanently hidden , i should redefine all numbers in phone memory adding this code in front...and then if somebody is calling me, ID is not going to be linked to the number in phone memory......better set up everything in the the phone functions directly....
In my old Hermes (Cingular 8525), there is an option in the Phone Settings to hide my caller ID, so that when I call someone they will not see my number on their phone.
However, with my Mogul, I don't see that option. Does anyone know how can I do this?
I miss this feature on the mogul too. But you can type *67 and the number for example the number is 18001234567 type *6718001234567
P.S. if you find a patch to do this from a menu I would love to hear about it.
Thanks for the info. But that means I can't use my "Phonebook" to dial, as I have to manually enter *67 and then the number.
Maybe some of our resident hacker can figure it out?
Do you just want to permanently hide your number from everyone you call? If so, you should be able to ask your carrier to add a "No Caller Id" code to your account...
you could edit the phonebook entry or make an aditional one that is blocked and call it their "other" number or fax or something
Hi all,
Thanks for the suggestions. I don't want to permanently block my caller ID, only for select number. I prefer to be able to change the caller ID feature on the fly without editing the phonebook, but I guess I'll have to do so until Sprint implement this feature.
Hi
I'm with Bell Canada and we have a option on their web to block caller ID. I selected this option and in my contacts I added *83 to the number I want to unblock my ID. So if I dial a new number I know that my block caller ID is on.
I only see Caller-Id info for folks in my Contacts. When Anyone else calls all I see is their number. Can anyone help me with this?
That's the only way to see them. You can't just see the name of a random number.
Wow! really?, I realize cell phone numbers are not listed but I just assumed that I could at least get Caller Id info for people with listed landlines?

I think that he means that the incoming calls are coming from a landline.
Yes, I know I'm not on a landline (I'm not calling myself)
So anyway, does anyone know if I should get Caller Id info from landline calls
Never in the history of Cell phones has Land line caller info come up.
The only info that you can see when ANYONE calls Land line or Cell phone is the Phone number.
If the phone # is in your Contacts database then that # is associated with the contact info and then the caller info is displayed.
If the phone # is NOT in your contacts database the number should be displayed and that is all.

Thanks for the feedback. I guess the number is better than nothing
Hello,
I often use an access code to dial internationally, and once I am connected to that access number, I have to enter the number of the person I am calling.
I have an HTC Touch HD with WM6.1pro and cannot find a way to do it. If I connect to the access number, then at the prompt go to my address book and dial a second number, it assumes I want to have two separate calls and puts the access code on Hold... which is not what I want! I do not remember all my friend's numbers, so I do have to use the address book.
With my old nokia n95, once connected I could go to the menu and say I want to dial a DTMF which is the tone you hear when dialing a normal phone. This allows me to follow on with calling the number I need while connected to the call.
Is there a way of doing this on WM6?
I have a kind of work around. I edit my international friends phone numbers as a "car phone" and the numbers look like this
02081802828 p 0027115555555
the access code, then I add p to pause then their number.
The HUGE problem is that when I dial any of my international contacts, the phone displays the same person... so no matter who I call internationally, it always shows a photo of my friend Ian, and displays his name instead of the person I am actually speaking to. I think this is a bug where WM6.1 only looks at the first 11 characters of a number, but the problem is, all my intl numbers have the same first 11 numbers.
Help MUCH appreciated, thanks,
Mark.

Don't know if it will work... but you coud try (using Advanced Config) to increase the number of digits used to "match" the numbers in the contacts... for example to 18 or 19 numbers... but I cannot immagine what other "consequencies"could happen...
Let us know !

Hi Kostas
It seems that the problem is actually with spb Mobile Shell and not windows mobile.
When I dial using the windows mobile dialler, it gets the name and picture right, but when I use spb's dialler it shows the wrong person and name...
I will chase it up with them... and thanks for the good idea, unfortunately the Call ID Match does not help the problem.
Efgaristo!
Mark.
Can someone clarify if WM7 will show both the full name and company for incoming calls.
I save all my contacts in outlook and use the File As to show both Person & Company i.e. John Smith(ABC Ltd).
I have over 1500 contacts for work and it's one of the features that has kept me with Windows for years.
I've tried Android and that doesn't do it. Iphone doesn't do it. Nokia doesn't do it - Not sure about Blackberry.
Also does WM7 have smart dial - I'm sure I read that it didn't, again it's a feature that's kept me with Windows, I have a shocking memory and being able to dial by first name, last name, company or telephone number is invaluble.
Cheers
Pete
For me it shows only 1st and last name + picture if available. Company info is a no go as long as you don't incorporate it in the contact name itself as I usually do.
Smartdial: No. But searching the contact list is easy. Just type 2-3 letters and you have narrowed the results enough. I'm saying this with 700+ contacts.
...I very much like to use voice dial, too. Very reliable, in fact, and fast.

Dear All,
I'm experiencing very strange issue with my WP7 HTC HD2, when receiving call form my saved contacts.
Almost all my contacts are saved in my phone with international dialing code as I'm living abroad.
When I receive call abroad, the name of my contact is displayed.
When I receive call at home the name is not displayed, only the number is displayed and I dont know who is calling while the number is saved in my phone with international dialing code.
To have the name displayed I have to save the number again without international dialing code.
I have the same issue when I dialing also.
Please help.

Apply the following registry and it will solve your problem:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:7
