    I'd like to see the cellular companies adopt some of the services
    the landline companies offer, such as block your ID and you don't
    get through.

    Consider an '800' number for your cell phone. I manage apartments and
    when the tennents call I like to know who it is. The caller ID for 800
    numbers is passed though and I get it every time. Only down side is I
    have to pay for the call, but it is miniminal and worth it to get the
    ID.

    Drop me a note if you need more info on how to set it up.

    Don't you have to wait for your long distance bill to arrive, or will you
    get the Caller ID info on your phone, regardless of whether the caller has
    turned Caller ID off?

    Caller ID Blocking is automatically dropped when you call an 800 number
    because the recipient is paying for your call. So the number passes through
    just as if Caller ID Blocking was off.

    Actually, no. Toll free lines do not use CID. They use ANI.

    http://www.answers.com/topic/automat...identification

    With certain providers, ANI can be passed to computer systems and/or
    display units with the call.

    I receive the calling number on EVERY call that goes thorough my 800
    number to my cell phone. Strictly speaking the 800 lines use ANI, but
    it is converted to CID at the end office.

    Re: Restricted number

    Caller ID shows up on the screen on toll free calls. Caller ID Blocking
    Still shows the number as the holder of a 800 number is paying, So he has
    the right to know who is calling.

    When I have to make a toll free call I use my prepaid calling card through
    there 800 line. No caller ID from me. There Is ways around everything. or
    payphones.
