How To Make Your Number Private?

Use *67 before dialing in the U.S. and Canada to hide your caller ID for that call

On iPhone, go to Settings > Phone > Show My Caller ID and turn it off

On Android, open the Phone app > Settings > Calling accounts or Supplementary services > Caller ID > Hide number

Contact your carrier and ask to block outgoing caller ID on your line

Use a secondary phone number or VoIP number for calls and texts

Set caller ID blocking in your carrier account if available online

Use a private or restricted number setting in your phone’s call settings

Check that your number is not listed in public directories or caller ID databases

Use messaging apps or encrypted calling apps instead of regular phone calls

Be aware that emergency services and some toll-free numbers may still see your number
