Hi Suzanne, again like Joan Ann says you might need to update the sim but I also know that you can change your ID name on your phone. Say for example instead of giving your name for a text or number you can give an alternative like flower or something. This would show up to all people either receiving texts or calls from you. You can't keep texts totally private though. When you ring someone your number can be withheld but as far as I know with texts something has to appear. Cheers, Nicky. -----Original Message----- From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of joanannbrosnan@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: 31 January 2007 10:34 To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vicsireland] Re: Blocking a number on the mobile & deleting text msgs Hi again Suzanne I don't know if the problem is with your phone or SIMM card but, if the SIMM card is more than 2 years old, it might be worth your while to update it. Vodafone do this for free. Joan Ann.

Also, another quick question - I have noticed lately that when deleting text messages my phone freezes up sometimes - is that to do with the handset or SIM card??

You can withhold your number when making a call. Each phone has different menus but, on my phone, you go to tools, settings, network and set my caller Id. Joan Ann.
