Step 1
To make an anonymous call where your phone number does not show up on the persons caller id dial *67. After you dial or press *67, you should here a brief pulse on the phone then continue to enter in the number you would like to call. Example *67 555-1212. If you have a cell phone you just dial *67 and the number that you want to dial and then press send. This is a great way to prevent the person or company that you are calling from obtaining your number.

Step 2
If you would like to Trace a call you can dial *57. This only works after a call has ended. For example, If you received a threatening or harassing call wait until the call is terminated, pick up the phone, ensure that you have a dial tone and press *57. You should hear the phone service's automated message. Follow the information in their message to pursue this further.

Step 3
Anonymous Call Rejection. If you would like to prevent any incoming calls where the caller ID has been blocked dial *77 on your phone. Any incoming calls with Caller ID blocked will receive a message informing them that your line does not accept calls from callers who block their phone number. To turn this feature on dial *77 and to turn it off dial *87
