How do I do a no caller ID number?

The fastest way to hide your number on any phone is a dial code. In the United States and Canada, dialing *67 before the phone number sends a carrier request to suppress your caller ID data for that call only (iTeleCenter). The recipient will see “Private,” “Unknown,” “Blocked,” “Restricted,” or “No Caller ID” depending on their carrier and phone settings (1051 The Bounce).

The catch

*67 is a one-time code — you must enter it before every call, and you cannot use a saved contact without editing the number first (Incogni). There is no way to undo the *67 effect for that specific call once dialed; the next call shows your ID by default (Apple Support Community).

Using dial codes like *67

  • Open your phone’s keypad
  • Dial *67 followed by the full phone number
  • Press the call button
  • The recipient sees your number as blocked

This method works on all phones including landlines, older cell phones, and the newest smartphones (Incogni). Note that *67 does not work on toll-free numbers, and it will not function if the recipient has anonymous caller blocking enabled (such as *77) (iTeleCenter).

How to do no caller ID on iPhone?

iPhone offers two ways to hide your caller ID: a quick per-call method using the keypad, or a permanent setting change through the iOS menu. Both approaches work on any iPhone running any iOS version, though the permanent setting may not appear on all models or carriers (YouTube Tutorial).

Settings menu steps

  • Open the Settings app
  • Scroll down and tap Phone
  • Find Show My Caller ID
  • Toggle the switch off

Per-call *67 method

  • Open the Phone app
  • Tap the keypad tab
  • Dial *67 followed by the full phone number
  • Tap the call button
The upshot

The settings method applies to every call you make until you toggle it back on. If you need to hide your number just once, the *67 prefix is faster and leaves your default settings unchanged (YouTube: 3 Ways to Hide Caller ID).

How to hide your caller ID on Android?

Android’s caller ID settings vary by device manufacturer and carrier, but the core path follows a similar pattern across most phones. The setting is typically buried within the Phone app’s settings rather than the main Android Settings menu (Incogni).

Phone app settings

  • Open the Phone app
  • Tap the three-dot menu (More)
  • Select Settings
  • Find Call Settings or Additional Settings
  • Tap Caller ID
  • Select Hide Number

Samsung specific steps

  • Open the Phone app
  • Tap More (three dots)
  • Tap Settings
  • Select Caller ID
  • Choose Hide
Samsung vs Pixel

Samsung devices use the “More > Settings” navigation pattern, while some other Android phones place these options directly under Phone > Settings without the intermediate menu (iTeleCenter).

Does *67 still work?

Yes. *67 still works in 2025 and 2026 on iPhone and Android for voice calls (iTeleCenter; Incogni). The code remains functional across all major US carriers including AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. It does not work for text messages or toll-free numbers.

*67 vs *69

  • *67 — hides your caller ID before making a call
  • *69 — returns the last call you received (call-back feature)

*31# usage

Some international networks use #31# instead of *67 to hide caller ID. This code is common in Europe and parts of Asia. The US/Canada standard remains *67, but if you travel internationally, your phone may require the alternate code (Incogni).

International codes like 141

In the United Kingdom, dial 141 before the number to hide your caller ID. This works on UK landlines and mobile phones. Ireland uses the same 141 prefix. Australia uses 1831 before the number. These regional equivalents function identically to *67 within their respective countries (Incogni).

What to watch

*67 works primarily in North America. If you’re calling internationally or receiving calls from abroad, the recipient’s carrier determines whether the blocked number displays correctly. Some carriers strip the blocking signal entirely (Incogni).

How to turn off no Caller ID on iPhone?

If you’ve enabled the permanent “Show My Caller ID off” setting and want your number to display again, the process is straightforward. You can also temporarily override a hidden default using the *82 code.

Restore Show My Caller ID

  • Open Settings
  • Tap Phone
  • Find Show My Caller ID
  • Toggle the switch on

Use *82 to unblock temporarily

If your carrier has set your account to hide caller ID by default, dial *82 before the phone number to temporarily show your ID for that specific call (1051 The Bounce). This is useful when calling businesses or services that block unknown numbers.

Steps: Setting up permanent caller ID blocking

For a hands-off approach that doesn’t require remembering dial codes, consider a permanent carrier-level block. This hides your number for all outgoing calls without any prefix.

  1. Call your carrier’s customer service line (dial 611 from your phone)
  2. Request a permanent caller ID block on your account
  3. Alternatively, log into your carrier’s online account portal
  4. Navigate to account settings or call management
  5. Enable caller ID blocking from the account dashboard
The trade-off

A permanent carrier block means your number stays hidden on every call unless you use *82 to override it each time. If you only need privacy occasionally, the per-call *67 method gives you more control without committing to a global setting (Incogni).

What people say about hiding caller ID

*67 hides your Caller ID for the current call. There is no way to undo that.

— Apple Support Community (Community Moderator, Apple Support Community)

Dial *67 before the number you’re calling, block it in your phone settings, or enable this feature through your carrier.

— Incogni Blog (Privacy Guide Author, Incogni)

This process works on ANY iPhone on any iOS version and any Carrier all around the world!

— Tech Tutorial Creator (YouTube: How To Hide ANY iPhone Caller ID)

Bottom line: *67 remains the fastest, most reliable way to hide your caller ID for a single call — it works across iPhone, Android, and landlines through 2026. iPhone users with carrier support can enable a permanent block via Settings > Phone > Show My Caller ID. Android owners should navigate to Phone app > Settings > Caller ID > Hide, with Samsung users following the More > Settings path. For US residents making occasional private calls, *67 before the number is all you need; for ongoing privacy, contact your carrier about a permanent account-level block.
