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

Can you block your number when calling from a cell phone?
Just call your cellphone carrier and ask for a line block. If you temporarily want your mobile number to appear from a private number, you can dial *82 (star 82) before dialing the number you’re calling. This can come in handy, as some people automatically decline calls from phones that block caller ID.
Can you use 67 from a cell phone?
Just add the *67 prefix before the phone number on your cell phone. This code is the universal command to deactivate Caller ID. For example, placing a blocked call would look like *67 555 555 5555. On the receiving end, Caller ID will usually display “private number” or “unknown.”
