displaying private numbers

hey guys!!! i know the display of the "private number" text is handled by the phone and the private number is not handled by the network as i have seen someone who installed hardware (a chip) on their phone to get this too work. even if i called my mate with private number it would display my number. this would lead me to determine that the callers number is still sent with the phone call however there is some form of data tha encapluates the number (eg: **042589563**) which tells the receivers phone that the number is to be displayed as private. i have found many methods in my searching such as getCallerInfo, ParseInvalidChars( TDes& aNumber, const TDesC& aInvalidChars); however none of these actually show the checking of what these characters/symbols are and the follwoing methods that tells the GUI of the mobile device to display "Private Number". all i want to do is drop the extra data and disply the number!!!! i have spent countless hours on this and any help would be EXCELLENT!!! your fellow programmer |

You won't be able to do this.

really... just for my own knowledge is this because the part of the phone that handels this is not available to the programmer or because it is a hardware implementation...?

It is too long since I have hacked into GSM protocols and don't remember exactly if the private number is sent or not by the network to the mobile. Anyway, I doubt that, if this is the case, the phone protocol stack will pass it to the Symbian telephony server.
