How to hide the phone number on the Samsung

Before I tell you how to hide your phone number on Samsung, I want to remind you that someone you are calling may not answer. He may have decided to block unknown numbers on his iPhone, Android smartphone or other cell phone. Because he does not know who is on the other side.

However, it is very easy to hide the numbers on your Samsung. No need to repeat the combination #31# every time you call. Just set an unknown default value on your Android.

To continue, turn on your phone and unlock it. Then open the Phone app and tap the Menu button. If your phone doesn’t have one, find it and press the three-dot icon. Then select Settings. In this section, select Call Settings and click Other Settings. Now find the Outgoing Number option, tap it, and select Hide Number. You’re done.

If you can’t find the Hide Number option, it may have a different name on your smartphone. Also try searching under Caller ID or Show Caller ID. However, after setting it up, make sure your number is actually hidden. Try making a call and see if the number is not visible. Unknown should appear on the phone receiving the call.

If you can’t call with anonymity.

Now that you’ve figured out how to hide numbers on your Samsung, you shouldn’t have a problem. If you cannot call anonymously or cannot find the option described anywhere, just wait and let it go. First of all, make sure you can do it with the combination #31#. If this method works, try activating the option I just suggested and reboot your phone before checking. However, if it does not work even with #31#. It is likely that your service provider, such as TIM, Vodafone, Wind, Tre (H3G), Fastweb or other, will not allow you to call private subscribers. To find out, call the call center and ask for more information.

How to hide your phone number using service providers

Anti Caller ID is a paid service provided by carriers to all subscribers.

If the operator allows you to hide the number and you have already ordered this service. you can turn on “Anti-Detect Number” in your phone settings. To do this, you need:

• In the standard “Phone” application, open the menu (three bars in the bottom corner)
• Select “Settings”
• Go to “Advanced settings”

How to hide your phone number from service providers

Operators, that provide “Anti Caller ID” service. This option allows you to hide the number of caller.

Method 1:

We will discuss the best method to help you find out how to block your number first, which does not require you to install or download anything. Most of the latest versions of Android, e.g. Android kitkat 4.4 and later versions, contain a call hiding feature that allows you to lock your number. What you need to do is activate the feature and prohibit the recipient from knowing your private number. Here’s a way to activate this feature.

• Go to the settings app from the home screen and click on the “Call” option.
• Click on the “advanced settings” option, then “Caller ID”.
• When you click on the caller ID, it will show you three options. Click the button next to “Hide Number” to enable this feature. When you make the call, everyone will see your number as private.

But the main disadvantage of this method is that once the feature is activated, every recipient will see the number as private for calls and text messages. There are some people who prefer to ignore calls from private numbers, so there may be a situation where you make an important call to someone and they ignore it.

However, you can disable this feature if you wish, following the same method described above. Only the last step is different in that you need to toggle the switch next to the “show my number” setting, and the call hiding feature will be disabled.
