How do I block my caller ID from my cellphone?

I've been informed that I can block my caller ID information when placing an outgoing call from my cell phone by pressing #31# and then the number.

 

Is there a charge or fee when making these types of calls?

  • No extra fees.  Some phones allow you to turn off caller ID in the settings, as well.

  • Enter *67. Enter the number you wish to call (including area code). Tap Call. The words "Private," "Anonymous," or some other indicator will appear on the recipient's phone instead of your mobile number.

    #31# Blocks when Carrier displays Number

    *31# Unblocks when Carrier hides Number.

     

    You can adjust your carriers settings in your diaper settings, to suit your level of sketchiness. Be warned the information can always be revealed with a warrant!

      I never answer calls without caller ID information that I recognize. If the caller wants to remain annonymous then I don't need to waste my time answering it.

    Concealing your guest ID on one gadget shrouds it on all gadgets related with your Voice account.

      Thanks NFtoBC. So regardless of your plan, there is no additional fees to press #31# when making an outgoing call from your cell phone?

       

      I have been waiting to get through to the Telus customer service to ask but still on hold.
