The privacy.conf file is used to control the maximum number of tries a user has to enter his 10-digit telephone number in the PrivacyManager( ) application. The PrivacyManager( ) application determines if a Caller ID is set for the incoming call. If the user fails to enter his 10-digit number within the number of tries configured in privacy.conf , the call is sent to priority n + 101 (if it exists). If the Caller ID is set, the application does nothing.
