hide phone number...

How do I disguise my phone number when I call someone? And I don't mean by dialing 141. I want a number to be visable. As they dont seem to answer my number or with held numbers.

    I don't think you can do that, unless you have your number stored on their phone. If you don't want the recepient to know it's you that's calling, get a free SIM from any of the major phone networks and use that.

    EDIT

    Looked into it, and *apparently* it can be done, it's called spoofing. I think it involves a third party and it smells very illegal...
