Hide Caller ID and Conference Calls

Post by nav »

I am a subscriber for $50 Freephone Line.
I would like to know how can I hide my caller ID and can initiate conference calls. *67 doesn't work to hide caller ID.

Thanks

FPL has said that it will always pass on your phone number. I believe you can make the caller name show as private by 'blocking' the ID, but the number will always be passed to the calling telco.

You should be able to do conference calls, although it is not something I have done in a long time and how you do it depends on which ATA you are using. With the PAP2T I believe you just press the flash key and dial the other number. With grandstream ATAs I think you press the * key.

It's probably more than what you want, but Fongo has a proper free conference system. http://www.fongo.com/features/conference-calling/ It might be worth looking at.
