Caller I.D.

[Route66]

I use metphone. When I call back to the states regardless of my settings (android) the person I'm calling can see the word
" Cambodia" on their end. Is there anyway to be hide that ?
I don't mind them seeing my name , but the location is a bit sketchy to some people.
Yeah I know..ridiculous .but people , especially those who've never travelled out of their own state much less their own country , think all kinds of strange and sinister things about expats visiting/living here.
(Sometimes I sense their reaction is similar one feels on receiving an email from the "prince of Nigeria" asking for a donation..lol..)...

My sister went off at me for coming here, her language was eye watering accusing me of doing all sorts of things, small mind's some people have,
I was shocked that she even thought that of her own brother. Completely destroyed any respect I have for her, to think that of me.
As for caller ID there must be a way to cancel it

Sorry to hear that about your sister. Try not to take it to heart.
But yeah I definitely get it . I lived in Colombia for six years alot of people back home thought I was a drug dealer...lol..
Funny thing is in all that time I never saw or came into contact with any drugs, much less coke.

Some countries just have a stigma that doesn't fade.

Yet that was 5 years ago still shocked my sister had that language and thoughts about me, with the only reason for it, was I traveling S.E.A alone. Hey I was retired my mate's were still working was I supposed to stay home watching TV or go on packaged tours and pay double ( single supplement).

if ur calling someone you know, dont they already know ur in Cambodia?

if your so worried about someone knowing where you are, use skype
add some $$ to ur account and no one will know where you are and you can call anywhere

When my daughter tells her friends she was born/raised in Thailand, she told me all her friends assumed i was a dealer
which is quite funny, as the day she was born i gave up my evil ways LOL

well most of them

Then you have to call with a hidden number.

Its their phone that show what country the country code you call from belong to, not yours.

I dont know about metphone. You can try activate it in your settings and see if its suported that way. Else Google or Contact metphone.

Cant you use Skype or similiar service? Then you wont appear with a Cambodian number.

Any Cambodian SIM-card will transfer code 00855 with the phone number, which is the country code for Cambodia. How that code is processed, and shown on the screen (or not) of the r3eceiver's phone is in the phone settings of the receiver.
