What is a restricted number?

A restricted number is a phone number that has been restricted or blocked from appearing on caller ID. This means that when the person with the restricted number calls someone, their phone number will not be displayed on the recipient's phone. Restricted numbers are often used by individuals who wish to maintain their privacy or anonymity when making calls. However, some people may also use restricted numbers for malicious purposes, such as harassing or scamming others. It is important to be cautious when receiving calls from restricted numbers and to avoid sharing personal information with unknown callers.
