I've been wondering this as well. Haven't really played around with it much on my phone because I figured it wasn't possible. But that'd be great if someone developed an app for this.

Crap I know I saw something for this the other day. Let me rack my brain and see if I can dig it up again.

Possible New Solution:Custom Ringer for "Unknown Caller ID"

Please PM me for a possible solution which I now have working on my Storm - it's actually very simple but unavailable in any searches I have made here or elsewhere. I need a few testers. Thanks!

Found this on CB for 83XX tried on Storm

Went in my addy book and created 2 new contacts: Private & Unavailable. I gave each contact 3 phone numbers: private, unknown, & unavailable (had to hold the ALT key to type letters in the number fields). Assigned a ringtone for the two contacts in the address book options which automatically created the exception (I did NOT have to go to Profile & perform a separate function). It worked!

I tried this with the stom but I don't have the patience to get it working correctly. It would take the Alpha caracters instead of numbers and I can set the ringer to a different one but when I tried to call from a blocked phone I couldnt get the ring to work. Not sure what I am doing wrong. ANy help would be appreciated. :blackeye:

Haven't tried any of this yet, but what about using "restricted" or "restricted number" as one of the "contacts" Just an idea

Well, It appears to be a little different approach for the Storm and it's actually looking for different "names". Checking my Event Log after calling my storm from a Caller Id blocked phone(actually it's my Skype line), I looked at the events which had just taken place. The storm is looking for ABSENT NUMBER (in the name field) and several other possibile "names". It is also, I believe, looking for either a 10 digit number (I got it to ring differently for the skype call by using 0000123456 as the number or a " " representing no number (null). Problem is, no way to get that into the Storm's phone number field. So, maybe I've given you some ideas to play with. I got it to work once but it wouldn't hold up after the first call and reverted back to the default ringer.

I'll try to play around with different name and number combos tonight and I'll post what I find.
