Any co can send calls to your cell phone whether they're calling the cell phone directly or with the toll free number.

I need to make a call and I don't want my parents to know because I want to surprise them with something. I was wondering if by dialing the toll free number, will they be able to see what specific contact I called or how will that show up on the bill? Will it be just the number I dialed or will it even show up at all? Sorry, don't know much about this stuff.<ul></ul> I am on a family plan and my mom receives the bill.

You can program office PBX's to show toll free numbers but there's no way to do that with a cell phone. I'm not sure it would be a good thing even if there was for two reasons anyway. Would you really want anyone with a cell phone to be able to program a different number into their cell phone? It would greatly diminish the value and legitimacy of caller ID, wouldn't it? Secondly some people look at any toll free number in caller ID with skepticism. There is one service that may help to allow you to manipulate a variation of caller ID. Take a look at <a href="http://www.tollfreenumbers.com/blogs/displaying-your-800-number-in-the-caller-id.html" rel="nofollow">Accudata Technologies Smart Caller ID</a>. I have a page more focused about <a href="http://www.tollfreenumbers.com/blogs/toll-free-numbers-on-your-caller-id.html" rel="nofollow">800 number Caller ID</a> and there are a couple other services that people use to get the real information when caller ID doesn’t show it. Although I’m not sure whether that will really help you in this case. See <a href="http://www.whocalled.us/" rel="nofollow">WhoCalled.us</a> for more help knowing who is calling from the caller ID and also a Wiki post for more about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caller_ID_spoofing" rel="nofollow">Caller ID Spoofing</a> Bill<ul></ul> Bryan,

Your regular phone number doesn’t “change" to the toll free number. The toll free number just rings into or is forwarded to that local number. Other than making it ring when the toll free number is dialed it doesn’t change the local number at all. People also often refer to a toll free number being attached to a local line, but a toll free number really doesn't physically "attach" to a local line. That's just where it sends the calls.
