How to Block Caller Id on Android?
Contents

Steps

  • Open your Android’s Settings. It’s the gear. in the app drawer.
  • Scroll down and tap Call Settings. It’s under the “Device” header.
  • Tap Voice Call.
  • Tap Additional Settings.
  • Tap Caller ID. A pop-up will appear.
  • Tap Hide number. Your phone number is now hidden from caller ID when you make outbound calls.

How can I hide my phone number when making a phone call?

To block your number from being displayed temporarily for a specific call:

  1. Enter *67.
  2. Enter the number you wish to call (including area code).
  3. Tap Call. The words “Private,” “Anonymous,” or some other indicator will appear on the recipient’s phone instead of your mobile number.

Can you use 67 from a cell phone?

Actually, it’s more like *67 (star 67) and it’s free. Dial that code before the phone number, and it will temporarily deactivate caller ID. On the receiving end, caller ID will usually display “private number” because it has been blocked.
