Hide phone number

Hi Y’all!

I want to stop my caller ID from displaying. But I want to do it once in a while-like when I call a company to ask about a product. I don’t want that company to have my number. This was 2 clicks on my Apple 3g (yep-I was seriously overdue for an upgrade!)

I searched on my brand new Note 2 and didn’t see a setting for it. So many settings it the Note 2! It can be overwhelming, but the geek in me loves the freedom!

I was in a hurry, so I called AT&T and spoke with a rep. She asked if I wanted to block my Caller ID at the network level. No! No! No!  That just smells like trouble. And I am sure a fee was involved (SIDENOTE:one of many,many,many ways the telcos screw you is by charging you to suppress your caller ID. At least that is how it is on landlines,if anyone still has them.(But I have to say AT&T has been great for me for 10 years and counting).

Anyway the lady said she thinks there is a an app that will block my caller id.

Anyone know of this app? Or is there a setting I am missing (I am a geek, but a brand new babe when it comes to Android)

I know about Do Not Call,but I don’t want to escalate to that level. And besides there are so many loopholes in the Do Not Call law that it is useless. A major one is that telemarketers may have a caller id from Dallas,Texas;but in fact they are calling from India. And India isn’t in America and doesn’t have to comply with American Do Not Call Laws.

If anyone knows of this app, I would appreciate any response. Thanks in advance!
