Well, I can’t speak for makino31, but I can speak from personal experience.
1) If you need to call someone but they won’t pick up if they see it is from you
2) If you want to call someone that you have to, but you do NOT want them to have your contact information number.
1) If someone doesn't want to talk to you, why would you call them? If I were dodging calls from someone I would not pick up any calls from an unidentified number. In fact, I currently don't. I let the answering machine pick up such calls. If its someone I want to talk to, I'll grab it whjen they leave a message or call them right back.
2) If you are calling someone why would you not want them to have your contact info? While there may be a very few instances where that might apply, for the most part it shouldn't.
ScottGem, in México if you're receiving a long distance call, part of the charge of the call will be billed to you. Due to this many people decide not to answer based on the calling party, even when who is calling is some one they don't dislike. That would be a reason to block the calling ID.

You missed my point Mick. I don't dispute what you said, in the US, most carriers charge you for the call whether you make it or someone calls you. So, of course you aren't going to accept calls from people you don't want to talk to. But how would blocking the callerID help that. Most people are not going to accept a call they will be charged for unless they recognize the number. So if its blocked they still won't answer it.
If somebody calls me and I do not know who it is. I want to find out. What I do is call back and use the *67 so they do not know it is me calling back.
