What is how to call from no caller id?

It is generally not possible to reliably call from "no caller ID" or a completely blocked number on modern phone systems while expecting the call to be answered. While there are methods to hide your number, completely preventing any identifying information from reaching the recipient is increasingly difficult and often viewed with suspicion.

Here's a breakdown of common misconceptions and realities:

  • *67 and Similar Codes: Using *67 (in the US and Canada) or similar prefix codes in other countries will block your number from being displayed on the recipient's caller ID. However, this typically doesn't mean "no caller ID." It usually shows up as "Private Number," "Blocked," or "Unknown Number" on the recipient's phone. Many people simply won't answer calls with such designations due to the high likelihood of them being spam or scams.

  • Private Numbers and Call Blocking: Many phones and phone services now have built-in features to automatically block or filter calls from private, blocked, or unknown numbers. This makes it even less likely that your call will be answered.

  • Spoofing is Illegal: Intentionally manipulating or falsifying your caller ID information to misrepresent yourself (known as "spoofing") is illegal in many jurisdictions, especially if done to defraud, cause harm, or obtain something of value. This is different from simply blocking your number using *67.

  • Alternatives to Hiding your Number: If you want to make a call without revealing your primary phone number, consider using a temporary or disposable phone number app, or a service that provides a secondary phone line. These services often allow you to choose whether or not to display a number.
