What is how to call without caller id?

Here's information on how to call without a caller ID:

Hiding your phone number when making calls is generally achieved by using a feature called <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Caller%20ID%20Blocking">Caller ID Blocking</a>. The methods vary slightly depending on your phone and carrier.

• Per-Call Blocking: This is the most common method. Before dialing the number you wish to call, dial a special prefix code. This code differs by region:

  • In the United States and Canada, the code is usually *67.
  • In the UK, it's usually 141.
  • Check with your local phone company for the correct prefix code for your area. After dialing the prefix, dial the phone number as usual. The recipient's caller ID will display "Private Number," "Unknown Number," or something similar.

• Per-Line Blocking: You can contact your phone company (wireless or landline) and request that your caller ID be blocked permanently for all outgoing calls. This usually requires a subscription service and might incur a fee. With per-line blocking, your number will always be blocked unless you specifically unblock it for a particular call (using *82 in the US and Canada to unblock).

• Smartphone Settings: Some smartphones offer built-in settings to block your caller ID for all outgoing calls. This is usually found in the phone app's settings under "Caller ID," "Show My Caller ID," or a similar option. The exact location varies depending on the phone's operating system (Android or iOS) and manufacturer.

Important Considerations:

• Emergency Services: Caller ID blocking is often overridden when you call emergency services like 911 (in North America) or 999 (in the UK). Emergency services need to be able to identify your location in case you are unable to speak or the call is disconnected.

• Legitimate Use: Be aware that using caller ID blocking to intentionally deceive or harass someone can be illegal. Use it responsibly and ethically. Consider the potential impact on the recipient, as many people are hesitant to answer calls from unknown numbers. It also might cause problems when trying to reach people that are using <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Call%20Screening">Call Screening</a>.

• VoIP Services: Many VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services offer options to configure caller ID settings, including the ability to block your number or display a different number. Check your VoIP provider's documentation for specific instructions.

• Carrier Differences: The exact steps and availability of caller ID blocking features may vary slightly depending on your phone carrier. Contact your carrier's customer support for detailed instructions specific to your service.
