How to Turn On a Caller ID Block

Caller ID is a calling feature that allows you to see the phone number and, in many cases, the name of the person making a call to your telephone line. If you want to make a call, but don't want your name or number to appear on the call recipient's caller ID display, you can turn on caller ID block.

Instructions

1. Lift your telephone's handset and listen for a dial tone.

2. Press "*67" on your telephone's keypad. Listen for a dial tone again.

3. Enter the full 10-digit phone number that you want to call. Your call will automatically connect, and your telephone's caller ID information will not appear on the caller ID display of the call's recipient.

Tips & Warnings

• The *67 call block feature only works on a per-call basis. Therefore, you will need to enter *67 every time you want to block your caller ID information when making an outgoing telephone call. To permanently block your caller ID information, call your telephone service provider and request permanent caller ID blocking.
