Unmask Blocked Calls!

Has anyone tried this? I would but looks like it only supports USA carriers.

TrapCall - Unmask Blocked Calls

[Chase817]

Worked perfectly with my iPhone 3G (AT&T) I used the *67 blocker, and sure enough, I saw my home phone number instead of "Blocked"

[.:MirrorminD:.]

i just tried it as well, and it worked

[ALL DAY]

Wait, what exactly is this? It's a way to reveal a contact who when they call always shows "Blocked"? My mom's phone has done that to everyone's for years, a fix would be quite welcome.

It should work for that.

[ALL DAY]

So if I used *67 like you were talking about, would I do it on my phone or my mom's phone?

*67 is the code you enter before the phone number you dial to have it shown as "Blocked".

EX: *67(111)111-1111

Ahh, I see. So there's no way to fix this that we know of for free?

[.:MirrorminD:.]

are you saying your mothers phone number comes up blocked already? If so just have her call her cell phone provider and tell them to unblock it.

This is a feature of most phones. Usually listed as "Hide Caller ID". You'll see it on the iPhone under Settings -> Phone -> Show My Caller ID. It can be turned on/off. What type of phone does she have?

[ALL DAY]

Mirrormind: Yeah, not sure if we've tried that, but I was wondering if there was another way.

Eurisko: Yeah, it shows up fine for anyone else that calls, but she's been through a Moto v551, couple of Razrs and now has a Samsung Propel (wouldn't get an iPhone ) and it's always been like that...

[Eurisko]

Ah, well if its continuing across phones, then its the provider.

I don't mean to be like noobish, but how is this legal?

If you mean it's an invasion of privacy, it's not. People have a right to know whose contacting them. People who block calls do it for one of two reasons, if the person they're calling knew it was them, they wouldn't pick up (see bill collectors). Or if there's no pickup, the don't want the person knowing they called. Each is a matter of concealment, not privacy.

Ahhh got it now. Thanks.

[Chase817]

Now I can pwn all those prank callers in my school!!

[BarcaMagic]

works fine

[bteamer]

too bad you don't need to unmask callers on an ipod

[mdiddy]

Most phones have an option to change the call display of its own calls.....
