If you want to keep your iPhone number hidden from other people’s caller ID, there are a few different ways to go about it. The first option is to turn off the phone’s display of the caller ID. This can be done by going into Settings and selecting “Privacy” followed by “Display Name & Number.” From here, you can toggle the option for “Show Caller ID” off. Another option is to use a virtual private network (VPN) service. A VPN encrypts all of your online traffic, including your phone calls, so that no one else can see who is calling or what numbers they are calling from. There are a number of VPN services available online, and most will also allow you to anonymize your IP address so that no one can track your location or identity. Finally, you can also use call blocker apps on your iPhone to block specific numbers from ringing or sending notifications when they call. There are a number of these apps available in the App Store, and they all work in slightly different ways. Some will block all calls from certain numbers while others will only block specific types of calls, like telemarketing calls or calls from unknown numbers. ..
There are plenty of reasons to not want your phone number showing up when you call someone else. Maybe you just don’t like giving it out to strangers, or perhaps you don’t want the person you’re calling realizing you’re ringing from a foreign number.
If you have an iPhone, you can block your number from showing up on other people’s caller ID with a simple settings toggle.
First, go to to Settings > Phone and select Show My Caller ID.
Toggle the switch next to Show My Caller ID off.
To turn Caller ID back on again, just come back here and toggle the switch on.
Note that blocking caller ID is a carrier feature. In theory, your carrier might not support it (although we haven’t been able to find one who doesn’t). If the setting is not there, that’s probably why.
