Hey,

I know with Vodafone, on your mobile, you can dial a 4 digit number before the actual number you want to dial and it prevents your caller id being shown to that person.

Just wondering how to do this on a Telecom mobile or landline? Without the need to manually go and disable the service through the mobile or through telecom..hoping there is some sort of a simple prefix??

Thanks.

0197 or 197 should still work?

I thought 0197 was common to all telcos in NZ?

0197 works on 2degrees as well, i just tested it.

yup i can now confirm, those codes work on cdma but not xt, so that would make your only option putting the number withhold service on your account i guess

in many phones there is a menu option which will case the phone to tell the network if you want caller id on or not.

e.g. on iPhone
Settings > Phone > Show My Caller ID > On/Off

it will do a background call to the network to change your settings.

cheers

Try prefixing the dialed number with #31# - this is the GSM standard code for restricting outgoing caller ID.
e.g. to call your mate on 027XXXXXXX dial '#31#027XXXXXXX'
