How to get p900 to send your phone# (caller-ID) by default, when making calls???

I cannot find any settings in the p900 that allow you to set it to automatically send your #(callerID) to the person your trying to call!!!!

I call alot of people who do not allow blocked calls, and it is soooo damn troublesome to have to choose "send callerID" in the menu or remember to dial *31# before every single call!!!!

if anyone knows whether or not the p900 has this option please post.

PS - My callerID is already setup with my carrier (cingular) to show up.... (it is not blocked).

I'd really like to know this as well.

It is strage... because as far as I know by default you always send you ID when making a call without any code before. Are you sure you carrier is not doing something to block it?
have you tried you sim on another phone?
On the P900 as well as the P800 there is not an option to hide you ID for every single call you make without entering the codes before the number you dial.

My number is not sent by default (my operator's settings). What I'm looking for is an option to turn number sending on and off in the P900 - as you can with any Series 60 device (or just about any other mobile phone, for that matter).

Anyone have any ideas?

if you read my initial post.... i stated that my carrier DOES NOT have my # setup to be blocked. it was verified to NOT have callerID blocking on.

the problem i am having is that the phone by DEFAULT, hides the # from the call-reciever's callerID.

there is no option or menu item anywhere in the p900 that i see where you can send your tel# by default....

it does however give you the option in the menu (while phone is dialing) to choose to "send" your #..... but this is the hassle that i am referring to.

so if it is still unclear as to what i am trying to explain, then i guess im S-O-L.

My P900 shows my # whenever I make a call. I'm with Cingular in So. Cal. My option, as Federico stated above, is to *block* individual calls.

well i dont think the p900 is blocking ur caller id by default. i dont believe it has a setting to do that. and if ur company is not blocking it either. either ur company or the p900 has a problem. i dont know.
