## How to Block Number and Hide Caller ID on iPhone or Android - Guide

The simplest way to block your number is to dial *67 at the beginning of the phone number you want to call.  If you use this method to hide your caller ID from someone saved in your contacts, you will first need to write down the number (or copy it to your clipboard).  Then type (or paste) in the phone app manually, with *67 at the beginning.  For example, if you want to block your phone when calling 555-555-5555, you need to dial *67-555-555-5555.

When you use *67 to call someone, you will show up such as No Caller ID, Private, Blocked or something similar on your device.  It is completely free to use *67 and you can use it as many times as you like.  Of course, you need to dial *67 before any blocking phone call you want to make.  So if you want to block your number for every call, you might be better off using one of the following options.
