friendship help: Hey, I’m trying to call someone and I dont want them to have my number how do I do that? - Help.com

look in the phone book if it is not a cell phone

i think you dial 141 before the number on a landline

if ur in the uk then its 141 before the numer your trying to call eg 1410123456789

In America, dial *67 before your number to block it. [example: *67(1718)3772972]

I agree with AmeliaWatson12; I think it’s *67 before your number (if not sure, call your phone service carrier on look in the front of the phone book - landline); if it is a cell phone, that is easy: just go to “settings,” and scroll to Network Services (Settings) and select “hide number,” and then after the call, switch back to “show number” or similar. Each mobile phone carrier has it’s own method; you can call customer service (free) and ask the person that answers; he/she will be happy to help you - or if you want to read that boring manual, it will tell you. (YUCK - how boring is a manual about a cell phone or anything else).

Thx,
