I have to agree. One of my friends used to be married to a lady who I remained friends with after their divorce. This jack A kept stalking her even after they divorced. He'd do anything he could to get her number and call/harass her. So at that time, I didn't have an IPhone, but had I, it would have been a concern. At that time, with the phone I did have which was Windows Mobile based, it still read the caller ID by itself, so I always was real real concerned when he was around that she'd call, and he'd do whatever he could to hear her number. Finally, what I wound up doing was putting her in my contacts under a fake name that didn't even resemble her real name even remotely. That way not only did it not read her number, it wouldn't even read her real name, and then basically only I knew the little secret behind that disguise. Hey, it worked… So my point in all this is to say, if you want to bird someone out from knowing who's calling that badly, there are ways you can do so with some creativity.
