GSM AT command to disable/change caller ID?

2008-07-17 Thread Ken Restivo
My old, cheap 7-11 ATT pay-as-you-go Nokia phone had a neat feature which 
would disable the Caller ID.

Are there any AT commands I can issue on the FR to do the same feature? I'm 
guessing it was a feature of the GSM modem, or maybe it was an instruction to 
the carrier network, issued via the modem.

I need this because the number I use for my FR is *not* my real number-- my 
main number is a VOIP number and I have it forwarded to the cellphone.

It'd be REALLY GREAT if there was a way to change the caller ID number to be my 
actual main phone number, not the phone disposable number of my pay-as-you-go 
cellphone plan.

GSM features like this one are controlled by “dialling” certain special  
numbers:

Note that not every cell provider implements this, and some charge for it.

You are not allowed to change your caller ID number, for obvious reasons.

Thanks!

The command appears to be CLIR, and, unfortunately, there's no global setting 
for it. #31#PhoneNumber, means I have to type it before each call. On land 
phones, there's a *70 (or is it *71), to disable caller ID globally.

So it appears that the Nokia is prepending #31# before each phone number it 
dials.

Is there some way to get the Qtopia dialer (ASU software) to prepend this 
dialing string?

Sorry, I was wrong, the permanent setting for CLIR is controlled by a GSM  
modem command AT+CLIR.

But the #31# will work for as well, but only for the calls you to which you 
are prepending it. I guess the #31# thing is some kind on common standard 
among GSM carriers...

Thanks!

Is it persistent across phone reboots? Or do I need to add that to some kind of 
connect script that runs every time the phone powers up?
