Does anyone know how to get caller ID activated on a mobile? I have a 159 number if that helps, and it is through China Mobile. I don't know what plan it's on, I just went to the local CM store and asked for a "simka". Not surprisingly, none of the English-Chinese dictionaries I have can tell me what is the pinyin for "caller ID"!!

All help is appreciated

Hamish, my Chinese fiancee informs me that the following pinyin phrase will get the job done. It means "I want to turn on caller ID."

wo yao kai tong lai dian xian shi

Here it is in characters in case you want to print and point:

The charge is customarily 5 CNY per month. Let us know if you need any further assistance. Happy Holidays!

Ahmet, once again you (and your fiancee!) come through! They didn't look at me strangely, just asked for the number, rang something on my phone and it now works! Perfect!

Thanks!
