how to remove private number on mtn

2 hours ago 4

To remove or deactivate the private number (hidden caller ID) feature on MTN in Nigeria, you can use the following methods:

Using USSD Code

Dial *31# on your phone and press call. This will deactivate the private number feature, making your number visible on outgoing calls. You will receive a confirmation message indicating the change

To check the current status of your caller ID, dial *#31#

For a temporary solution where your number is shown only on a specific call, dial #31# followed by the phone number you want to call

Adjusting Phone Settings

On Android:

Open the Phone app.
Tap the three dots or menu icon.
Go to Settings > Calls or Calling accounts.
Select Additional Settings or More Settings.
Tap Caller ID.
Choose "Show number" to ensure your number is visible during calls

On iPhone:

Go to Settings.
Tap Phone.
Tap Show My Caller ID.
Toggle the switch to ON to display your number when calling

Notes

These steps work for MTN and other Nigerian networks like Airtel.
Carrier settings may override phone settings, so using the USSD code *31# is a reliable way to toggle caller ID visibility.
If your number still shows as private after these steps, check for any network-specific restrictions or contact MTN customer service.

By following these instructions, you can remove the private number feature on your MTN line and ensure your phone number is displayed when you make calls.
