wap phone call w/ hidden number

Hello,

We are developing a website which enables people to contact each other
by phone,
though we do not want to give away their actual phone number (to
prevent harrasments).

Is it possible to send an sms to one's mobile phone with a wap link
which would dynamically load the recepient's phone number without
actually revealing the phone-number but still enable the call?

Thanks,
Kaniga.

That's going to depend on the features of the phone in question, but I
would be more than slightly surprised if it's possible. And it's bogus
protection anyway unless their phone carrier will also agree not to
disclose what number they called -- which seems massively unlikely
without MASSIVE infrastructure changes to prevent abuse.

I think you're stuck with running the calls through your own switchboard.

But I may be wrong. The right folks to ask would be a telephony
newsgroup, not an XML newsgroup.
