Temporarily blocking my CallerID Number - Doesn't work

I'm trying to figure out how to temporarily block my CallerID number, when I want to. On my old cell phone I could enter *67 before I dialed a number, and that would work. On my iPhone, the call can't be completed when I try entering *67.
I've also tried going to Settings -> Phone -> Show my Caller ID, and tried to turn that off, but it's dimmed, and I can't select it. I then called Apple and they said that I should be able to select it, but I haven't been able to do it on two different phones. I called AT&T, and they said that they can block it permanently, but that's the only option that they have.
Any ideas on how to block my ID? Is anyone able to get this to work?

Thanks for the tip on changing the user id. Called AT&T and they changed it in less than 5 minutes.
The guy who took the call said that it may take up to 72 hours to change and if it did not, I should call my regular land line provider.
When I queried him and said why contact my land line provider I only wanted my iPhone changed - he responded that when they change the caller ID it needs to change in the entire National Data Base, not just for my iPhone or any other cell phone but also my land lines as well. I have 3 land lines in the house and all 3 have now been changed to the new called ID as well after only asking that my iPhone caller ID be changed.
Interesting that there is a national ID data base on caller-id's. Hmmmm!!!

    if you can't find your serial number (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html), you'll need to contact adobe support (http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html).

    when updated to 9.1.7 from 9. I need new serial and the old serial number doesn't work. How can i solve this?

    There was no new serial needed to update from Logic 9 to 9.1.7
    If your Logic 9 was an upgrade from Logic 8 it may be asking you for your original Logic 8 Full serial first and then your Logic 9 Upgrade serial...
    Otherwise, it's best to call Apple directly and get them to help you...

    Fixing bug SDK-17173: Setting rotate to a large number doesn't work anymore.
    The Flash Player clamps rotate between -180 and 180. We should do the same now that we're doing some of the calculations ourselves. This clamping logic was added to CompoundTransform.as. Also, clamping logic was added to UIComponent. This is because FP10 doesn't handle values greater than 2^15-1; FP 9 used to handle these values fine. I filed a FP bug for this (FP-749).

    Can we now assume that the touch SDK has been abandonned by Adobe? It's now a year after "should be updated soon", and currently if you try to download the touch SDK from this page you get the Photoshop 3 SDK instead!!!
    I ask as I'm about to remove Touch support from my app; the very few people that use touch are now having problems e.g., timeouts, with the latest version of Photoshop.

  • License number doesn't work

    Hello,
    after formatting my HD and reinstalling Leopard I used migration assistant.
    Everything worked, except now my quicktime license number doesn't work anymore.
    Does anybody has/had this problem or can help me solving it?
    Thanks

    Name and number must match the info received from Apple. Even a missing Mr. would cause it to fail.

  • I've blocked anonymous but it doesn't work for all: unavailable, no name, etc

    It appears this question has been asked numerous times, but there is no response from Verizon. What's the deal here? I don't want to call Verizon because when I do, I'm inundated with calls from them, which I'm trying to decrease not increase. Honestly, Verizon reminds me of an ex who takes a break up badly, and I don't want to encourage continued calls, but I need to know how to stop this.

    It does work.  The problem is that anonymous call rejection doesn't do what you want it to do!    ACR blocks calls from people who withhold their telephone number by entering the ACR code on their phone.  "Unavailable" and "no name" callers have not used the ACR code to block their telephone number, so the call comes through.   It's a loophole in the regulation and there is no way for the consumer to get around it.
    If you feel motivated enough, a letter to the FCC or your congressman asking them to fix the loophole is your best recourse.

  • CS5.5 serial number doesn't work

    4 months ago I installed in my PC the CS5.5
    by dialing the serial number of the product I purchased
    in the boxes of the splash screen of a trial version.
    All the programs of the CS have been installed as purchased products
    except for Fireworks (but I didn't find it out until now).
    Now I need to use it and I am trying to install it from the trial version
    (which I downloaded few months ago but had never launched)
    by dialing the CS5.5 serial number I purchased but it doesn’t work.
    I dialog says that my serial number is not valid for the product I am trying to install.
    What is wrong with the license I purchased?

  • Trial serial number doesn't work.

    Just downloaded a trial of Aperture 3.0.3, and got emailed the serial number.
    Click to install, enter my name and the supplied serial number, but the installer just says "The serial number you entered is not valid." and will not proceed.
    I've double and triple checked, the number is exactly as per the email, with upper case, no confusion between letters and numbers, but it doesn't work.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks.
    Any suggestions how to contact them? There's no contact details on the email, and the email is from a "no-reply" address, and searching on their Support section brought me to here - 's why I thought I'd ask here

  • My serial number doesn't work for Illustrator

    First I've downloaded Illustrator trial and finally I bought the mastersuite. But now Illustrator is saying that my serial number doesn't even exist (that serial number works on other programs in the suite). What am I supposed to do ?
    Thanks

    Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and reinstall everything. Also refer to this:
    Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows
    Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
    Your Illu is still tied to your un out trial and you need to delete the locked license file so it will correctly run with the suite serial.

    Did you just purchase Premiere Elements 12 - online download or installation disc?
    Was the program ever installed by you a while back and are you trying to reinstall it now?
    Are you sure that you are working with the serial number and not a redemption code?

    When working with downloads and installs, please work with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
