I've got the Au Carrier version, Model Number "SCV33".
The problem was that the phone came with locked network, but i unlocked it through About>Status>Sim Lock Status by registering my SIM.
The 2nd problem which i cant solve is whenever i try to call someone it keeps giving the options "Set Dialing Destination: To Japan or To Oversees"
Pressing to Japan causes it add the Japan code, and when i press oversees it tells me to enter the code for the country and to do that i have to put the code in front of every number manually or edit each number with the code, that also sometimes doesn't work cause Google sometimes wont remove the original number without the code and will keep calling that one. And there is no "more settings" in call settings, thus no assisted dialing option. I really don't want to root or flash anything.
Also the issue isn't about calling people i can deal with that, problem is i cant put codes e.g *124# *3# etc which are for getting balance info and packages.
Cheers if anyone can help me.

I have T-Moble here in the US and updated my Pocket PC Phone edition rom versio 4.00.16 ENG and noticed they have this call barring feature in the phone settings that lets you bar incoming or aout going calls but to activate you have to enter a call barring password does anyone know what it is.
i never used or tried it, but i was told its the last 4 digits of your social securty # or last 4 of your fone #
I tried both abd it didnt work but thanks for the info
I always thought call barring was done through the sim/service provider password.
T-Mobile also uses 1234 as a default password often.
also try 5678
Thanks again people i will try thpse suggestions today
Where did you find a 4.00.xx update for Tmobile? I just checked their site and they still had the old Nov 2002 3.16 code up there.
Thanks,
If you look at the ROM Update section of this forum you will see we have easy access to various 4.00.xx ROM updates.
SIM PIN 1 & 2
Ok, I had an experience earlier this year where one of my t-mobile phones (not the PPC) wanted "Sim Pin 2" to access a feature. I ended up getting my sim pin blocked and called up t-mo support. After a little bit of "Try to get the information out of the dumb support person" I finally had the person ask me "Well, I could give you PUK1 and PUK2, if you think that would help", I said i thought it might, and she gave me the two keys to the kingdom (Along with what SIM PIN 2 was originally, just a random string of number). The moral: Call T-Mobile, tell them you have a feature that you can't unlock and that you think you've screwed up your phone bigtime. If they ask if you want to send it in, say no, that you think you can fix the problem if they give you these weird PUK numbers or PIN numbers. They'll probably just be happy to get you off the phone, and these might be the numbers you're looking for.
Tmobile has a special plan called the "data-only" plan that automatically blocks all incoming or outgoing calls. However, it still allows emergency dialing (911) and 611 calls... Just call a rep and have them set you up with that plan! Everything costs the same...
As I am using the below mentioned OS version and Radio. I have a call barring for all outgoing INTERNATIONAL calls. Whenever I need to dial an int'l call. Thru the built-in selection for disabling the bar code, this options pops an error saying to check my phone settings!
But when I use the dial buttons to press the keys combination which my ISP provides #331*----# (dash are digits), this works on the spot in either cases, the on and off!
Any help
hello,
i have t-mobile mda II (under wm5 ,i think software is O2),
does anybody know standard password for this phone? i'd like to change CALL BARRING SETTINGS, i need CALL BARRING PASSWORD.
thanks.
as wm5 is not offical
i doubt it's a real o2 rom
and CALL BARRING sounds
very very much like something
put in the sim rather then on the
phone
I've just had my number ported, but the Universal is still showing the old number under Start > Settings > Phone
Where does it get that number from and how can I change it to the correct number?
On my MDA PRO there is a sim manager app in the contacts folder, you start that and from the menu show your own numbers and edit it there. If your O2 rom doesn't have a sim manager then you 'll either have to flash with another operator's ROM which does or put your sim into another phone that can access the SIM and edit your own number. You may get away with calling O2's CS and asking them to send you a SIM update which will change to the old number for you automatically, not sure if the universal can do this though.
Your pre-port number is stored on your SIM and will always be there. Just ignore it, but the reason is this...
When you port number 1 from network A over to network B, to replace number 2, number 2 will always be your main number. Network A will always own number 1, even though they have given it to network B for you to use instead of number 2. Even if people call your number 2 (which has been of course replaced with number 1), they will still get through to you. And, when people call you on number 1, the call is routed through network A, before it goes through network B, who in turn connect it to the subscription they have on their system as number 2.
I know there's probably an easier way of explaining it, but it's very late, so sorry if the above sounds a bit daft. It is true though.
:lol: no, that makes sense, thanks
Just having a look through my old posts and came across this one. Don't know how it works in Ireland but seems to be different here. Every time I've ported, the number that was being replaced has been switched off, i.e. if you were to call it then you get the "You have dialled incorrectly please try again" or similar error. As far as I know you're not identified to the network by a phone number stored on a SIM card, but by a unique code on the SIM, when someone calls you the call gets routed by the prefix of the ported number to your old operator, who then forward it to whoever they ported it to. Your present operator when they receive the call then check the phone number against their list of numbers and connect the call to the SIM code that the number is registered to. As I said in my post you can change the phone number that is stored on your SIM card using SIM manager on the universal, as I have done on mine, and if you were to put the SIM into a different phone it would still recognise the numbr change and report your number as your ported one.
Bit of a long post but in essence saying that the pre port number doesn't need to stay on your phone, you'll still get calls to your new number.

This is an easy one to fix:
Start > Programs > SIM Manager
Tools > List of Own Numbers
Change LINE 1 (which I think you'll find is your old number) to the new one you've had ported.
You should now find that the phone app reports the correct number
My SX66 is running WM6.1 ROM from sun_dream.
Every are smooth except one problem:
When I set the Caller ID service to "no one", I can not make any call.
I do not know why. I test my SIM with another phone, calling works normally. So I guess the problem is on the ROM.
I did search the forum but did not find a clue.
Any suggestion/solution are really appreciated.
Thanks,
it is possible that the network setting for caller id varys from country to country but for germany for instance the code is 31.
for getting the status dial *#31#
for temporary sending of your callerid dial *31#
to disable callerif dial #31#
and to get the status of incoming id dial *#30#
either that works for you or you look up the codes for your country and/or carrier and try them, that way, you can tell whether really the setting is broken in the rom or just not compatible to your network and adjust it.
Thank you for quick reply.
My network uses code #31#, and I tried it but could not make the call. The same with setting "No one"
I guest that the problem is with the ROM.
have you tried upgrading your radio rom? the newest one is 1.15.00 and maybe that will do the trick. or you sim unlock your device, or you try another sim card in your device. you know, the possibilities for what went wrong are pretty limitted, but i actually would blame the rom last, since that really hardly affects the calling.
Hey everyone,
my Axon seems to hide my phone number by default when I call other people.
I know that the phone is responsible for this because:
1. others can see my number when I call them with my old phone
and
2. when I put *31# in front of a number to basically override the phones setting the person I'm calling will see that it's me.
I feel like there is no setting to change the caller ID option in my Axon. At least it's not where it normally is (Call Settings, Additional Settings).
Does anyone have a similar problem or even better, a solution?
I asked about this on ZTE`s forum and never received a reply.
Okay, that's interesting.
I wonder why no one in the Axon 7 section talks about this issue. There should be more people with the same problem.
This is generally a carrier setting problem not a phone problem.
For T- Mobile not sure about ATT.
*67DN Activate Calling Line Identification Restriction (CLIR) for outgoing call
*82DN Deactivate Activate Calling Line Identification Restriction (CLIR) for outgoing call
In this case I know that it is not a carrier problem because I've tested it.
It might be worth mentioning that I own the European model and that I live in Germany.
Same for me, Europen Version and I live in Germany. Provider is O2. Switched from my HTC M8 to the Axon 7, had no hidden caller ID whatsoever on the M8.
Kind of annoying and I can't find anything to switch it off.
Anyone else has the same problem?

I live in France and my provider is Free Mobile.
The caller ID works for me.
My Axon 7 is a 2017G model with B05 firmware.
I've got news:
After dialing the gsm code #31# the phone is no longer automatically hiding my number. The strange thing is that this code is supposed to do something completely different: hide the number for the next call.
This still works after restarting the phone but after updating the software (bo5 to b06) I had to dial the code again which means that this method is only a temporary fix and this is something the ZTE devs have to look into.
Same here in Spain
I suscribe all your comments ace.infinity.
I'm in Spain, my carrier is Oceans. I'm in last build and with code *31# my name appears, I have to use it in all calls to be visible.
No solution found by the moment.
Incorrect

It is the phone setting itself that is now hidden from thre user menu that is actually hiding the number!
I was able to modify my caller ID setting by opening the phone app > menu> setting > call setting> SIM 1 or 2> additional setting.
