Question
My work pays for a blackberry and they encourage you to use it as your personal phone as well. This is great since I don't have to pay for and carry a second phone. The call detail on the bill will list all outbound phone numbers. Since some of these are personal, I would prefer to keep them private. Is there a way to make those calls and have them show up as "anonymous" or "number unavailable" on the bill?
There is no way to change what shows on your called number display on your invoice, I'm afraid. You can block your number so that the person you are calling cannot see your number, but you can't change what shows on your outbound call display. If you want my personal opinion, I would be surprised if your company really spent any time combing through your called list to see who you are calling. It is more likely that they would only review these logs if there were a problem to be addressed. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
