To hide your phone number when making a call, you have several options depending on your device and carrier:

Temporary Method (Per Call)

• Dial *67 before the phone number you want to call. This will block your number for that single call, showing up as "Private" or "Blocked" on the recipient's caller ID. For example, dial *67 + area code + number

Permanent Method (All Calls)

• On Android:
  • Open the Phone app.
  • Tap the menu (three dots) and go to Settings.
  • Select Calls or Supplementary Services.
  • Find Caller ID settings and choose "Hide number" or "Never" to block your number on all outgoing calls.
  • To show your number on a specific call, dial *82 before the number

• On iPhone:
  • Go to Settings > Phone > Show My Caller ID.
  • Toggle off "Show My Caller ID" to hide your number on all calls.
  • If this option is unavailable, you can use *67 before dialing to block your number for individual calls

Carrier Assistance

• Some carriers allow you to block your number permanently or provide apps to manage caller ID blocking. Contact your mobile carrier if you cannot find the option on your phone or want a carrier-level solution

Important Notes

• Caller ID blocking does not work for emergency numbers (e.g., 911) or toll-free numbers.
• Some recipients may have settings to block calls from private or unknown numbers, so your call might not go through.
• Text messages will still show your number even if calls are blocked

Using these methods, you can control when and how your phone number is displayed when making calls.
