How to block your number

To block your number, you can dial *67 before the phone number you wish to call, or adjust your phone settings to always keep your number private.

If you want to block your number from being displayed while making a call, there are a few simple methods you can follow. One common way is to use a specific dialing code each time you make a call. In the United States, for example, you can dial *67 followed by the recipient’s phone number. This method will hide your caller ID for that particular call, allowing you to maintain your privacy.

Alternatively, if you want to block your number permanently, you can change the settings on your phone. On iPhones, go to Settings > Phone, then tap “Show My Caller ID” and toggle it off. For Android devices, the steps may vary slightly based on the manufacturer, but generally, you can find this option in the Phone app settings under “Caller ID” or “Additional Settings.” Once disabled, your number will remain blocked for all outgoing calls until you decide to turn it back on.

Remember, while blocking your number can protect your privacy, it’s essential to consider that some individuals or services may not answer calls from private numbers. It’s a useful tool in certain situations but might not be ideal in cases where you want to ensure your call is recognized and answered.
