[android-developers] Re: Hide Phone Number in the Dialer

Have you tried supplying your own account manager implementation,
adding a contact with the display name "My Special Number" and then
sending your dialer Intent?

Since you cannot override (afaik) the dialer from appspace that'd
pretty much be the only way of doing it.
