How to show privat caller - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8 Cell Phone

You n3eed to contact your phone service for this.

You would have to subscribe to that feature from your local phone company, then when a number like that calls they will get a recording that states you do not accept blocked calls...

You can't. When caller-ID shows "Private", it means that the caller does not want you to know what number they are calling from. (Tip: These are good messages to let the answering machine answer. If they want you to call back, they'll have to leave a number.)

You cannot see the caller of a private number

If the caller is is blocked or private you cannot show the caller.

it could be possible that the caller is blocking their number. It should show as "unknown" or something like that, maybe even "private". In either case, the person being called would not control the callers sent number, it would be the Telco on the other end

Usually private calls made are from a phone card so basically you cannot return the call. Hope this helps

Hi

Thanks for using FixYa. I think you have stored more than 100 Caller ID messages and hence the caller ID is not showing on Uniden Tru8888. In the following cases the caller ID will not be shown-

If you answer a call before the Caller ID message is received (for example, before the second ring), the Caller ID message will not appear.

When the call is received via a telephone company that does not offer Caller ID service, the caller’s phone number and name does not appear. (This includes some international calls.)

When the call is via a private branch exchange (PBX), the caller's phone number and name may not appear.

You may receive any one of the following messages:

When a private name is received; Private Name
When a private number is received; Private Number
When a unknown name is received; Unknown Name
When a unknown number is received; Unknown Number
When invalid data is received; Incomplete Data

The Caller ID list stores information for incoming calls - even unanswered calls. You can store up to 100 Caller ID messages and phonebook entries (including Speed Dials) for each handset and the base. You can view the Caller ID list through the handset or base during a call or when the phone is in standby mode.

Memory locations for Caller ID messages and Phonebook entries (including Speed Dials) are common, you can store up to all 100 entries for each handset and the base. Caller ID messages are not stored when you have 100 phonebook entries. When you have stored a total of 100 phonebook entries and Caller ID messages, the oldest Caller ID message is overwritten.

Please do rate the solution and revert for further assistance.

I have had the same problem. I spent days trying to find the settings within the phone, until i called my service provider. They got my Caller ID working within minutes.

have u tried going to menu---settings---phone settings---show caller information---should say "activation on"??

or did you go menu---settings---call settings---all calls---show my number---"by network" try changing "by network" to "send" x
