However if I have your number listed in my phone's phone/address book it will display the name that I have associated with that number.<br /><br />So obviously you have given me your number for me to have entered it into the phone/ address book. Same for mobile phone's address book.<br /><br />My mobile can even have a different ring tone for individuals as well as bringing up a photo (if I have one) of the caller.<br /><br />If you are not in my phone/address book it just cames up "Unknown".<br /><br />Hope this eases you mind about the privacy of Unlisted numbers.<br /><br />Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year to you and yours.Big Bad Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08068264174422746226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537248759531778858.post-10925485177119145852010-12-22T16:52:18.989+10:002010-12-22T16:52:18.989+10:00It is transmitted so that even if you have a priva...It is transmitted so that even if you have a private number, calls to emergency services (i.e. 000, fire, police, ambulance, Nuffy & Rajneesh) are able to override your private number and always display. I got that beat too though, I can display whatever number I like. Shame I lost the Prime Minister's private line in the wash.<br />NuffyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
