The ability to label numbers is a great thing about the cell. I get a
heads up if a client calls me. Its good to know who I'm talking to
before I answer. Some people won't pick up if the number is not given
so my feeling is that it's better to send your number when calling
others. Other people are so paranoid that they always hide theirs.
