Sometimes you need to call someone who shouldn't know your number. This may be a dubious organization or a not very pleasant person, and you may simply not want to show your contact information to everyone. In this article you will find ways to hide your phone number from different operators.

Different ways to hide a number

There are many ways to hide a number when calling: from special operator services to functions built into the OS capabilities. The most convenient of them will be discussed in the subparagraphs below.

Hide number on Android

Android is one of the most popular mobile operating systems in the world today, which is largely due to its wide functionality. One of the features of Android is hiding the number. To launch the built-in Caller ID (mobile phone number anti-identifier), you must perform the following steps. For Android versions up to 6.0.

  1. Find the “Call Options” section in the settings.
  2. “More” (or “Additional properties”).
  3. Check the “Hide number” option.
  4. Reboot your device.
  5. Check the function.

For Android 6.0 and above:

  1. Go to the Phone application.
  2. Find the icon in the form of three dots in the search bar of the application and click on it.
  3. “Settings” (or “Properties”).
  4. "Call settings".
  5. "Additional settings".
  6. "Anti caller ID."
  7. “Hide number.”

The ability to enable Caller ID is blocked by the operator

If the phone of the subscriber you are calling is turned off, he will receive an SMS where the number will also not be indicated, which is convenient. However, it may not be possible to hide your phone number in this way, since some operators deliberately block this option so that subscribers connect to a paid service with similar functionality. The same applies to various applications for hiding numbers on Android, which are dummies that do not perform their tasks.

Hide number on iPhone

The iPhone, like Android devices, has a built-in caller ID.

  1. Go to "Settings".
  2. In the menu that opens, select “Phone”.
  3. Open "Show number".
  4. Move the “Show number” slider to the inactive position.
  5. Check the operation of the mode.

If the mode does not work, try rebooting the device. If this does not help, then all that remains is to connect Caller ID from the operator.

Hiding a number from mobile operators

Mobile operators provide services to disable caller ID, but they are not free at all. In this paragraph, we indicated ways to connect such options with the most popular mobile operators in the Russian Federation.

On Tele2

The USSD command to hide a number on Tele2 is *117*1#. To disable the option, dial *117*0#.

Caller ID activation is also possible in your personal account on the operator’s website or in the corresponding application.

On MTS

MTS allows you to activate the Anti Caller ID service both through the self-service service and using the USSD command *111*46#.

Instructions for connecting the option via the Internet:


To activate the option one-time, use the “Anti-AON on request” service, for which you need to dial the command *111*84#.

On Megafon

Dial the USSD command *105#, and select the service in the menu that opens. You can also use the command *221#.

You can also use Megafon’s Personal Account, in the “Services and Options” section.

Beeline

You can hide your number from Beeline using the command *110*071# or by calling 06740971.

Unfortunately, Beeline will not be able to completely hide the number when calling, since this operator provides the “Super Caller ID” service, which negates the work of Caller ID.

Skylink

With this operator, connecting to this service is the same as with others. You can connect the anti-caller ID through your SkyPoint personal account by selecting the “Caller Identification Denial” service from the list. You can also hide the number one time by adding *52* before the number.

Conclusion

Turning on the anti-number identification number takes a couple of minutes, but this process has its own nuances. The capabilities built into the system almost never work correctly with Russian operators, who, for the sake of making money, not only provide anti-identifier services, but also provide ways to bypass it: also not free.

The answer to the question of how to hide a phone number on Xiaomi or another smartphone will be similar - the manufacturer, OS version and other factors do not matter; you will have to pay additionally to your operator for Caller ID.

To be able to call from a hidden Megafon, you must activate the paid service “Caller Identifier”. To “Caller ID” on Megafon, use the USSD command *105*501#. You can also contact for this by calling 0500, or use your personal account on the operator’s website.


You can allow Megafon to identify your number once when calling a specific subscriber. To do this, first enter *31# and immediately after that continue dialing the number of the desired subscriber in the usual format, then press the call key. As a result, your number will not be displayed to the called party.

How to call from a hidden MTS number

Activate the AntiAON service from a hidden MTS number. To do this, dial the combination *111*44#. In addition, you can activate the service by using the operator’s website or by calling 0890. To activate the service, you can also send an SMS message with the code 2113 to 111. The cost of activating the service varies depending on the country and ranges from 10 to 20 rubles.

How to call from a hidden Beeline number

To call from a hidden Beeline number, dial *110*071#. Connecting to the service is free, but the subscription fee will be about 88 rubles monthly. Please note that you must type the command to enable the anti-identifier before making each call that you want to hide.

Other ways to call from a hidden number

You can use your phone to make calls even without connecting special mobile operators. However, this feature is available only on some phones and communicators. Try going to the device's general settings or call and contact settings. Find the "Transfer" option and turn it off to be able to hide the number every time you call.

Previously, when there were no mobile phones, we calmly answered the phone, not knowing who was calling. With the advent of cellular communications, such a convenient thing as automatic number identification (ANI) appeared. Now, when we hear a call, we immediately see which number it was made from. This has become so commonplace that if suddenly the message “Number not identified” or “Unknown number” appears on the phone screen, you feel uneasy. The question immediately arises: how to find out a hidden phone number?

How it works?

All cellular operators offer the AntiAON service. It consists of hiding the caller's number. It is used by people who, for one reason or another, need to hide their number. Often these are scammers or telephone hooligans.

A hidden number allows them not only to protect their identity, but also produces a psychological effect - the unknown is always a little scary. However, the anti-caller ID is not omnipotent, so the “invisibility” can almost always be seen.

Ways to find out a hidden phone number

  1. If you receive calls from an unknown subscriber one after another, you can use the “They called you” service of mobile operators. Just turn off your phone and wait a few minutes. After turning it on, you should receive a message with information about who called you during this time. Most likely, the number will be displayed.
  2. To see all callers, you can activate the appropriate service. True, it is not without its shortcomings. Firstly, you will have to pay for it, and not cheaply. Secondly, it may not apply to phones from other cellular or landline networks.
  3. The most reliable way to find out a hidden phone number is to order call details. The fact is that the caller ID “deceives” only the telephone set; the PBX will still see which number the call was made from. Thus, although not immediately, you will be able to determine the number of the caller. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to obtain such detail quickly. Mobile operators can provide such uploading either only for a certain period of time, or with a delay of several days. You can quickly get call details only when you connect a virtual phone. Operators provide a convenient “Personal Account”, where all calls are displayed in real time. Therefore, you will immediately receive all the necessary information.
  • An unknown number does not always mean that the interlocutor is hiding from you. Sometimes the number is not identified for technical reasons - for example, due to maintenance work at the mobile operator. Sometimes a similar situation arises if you dial a number, and at that moment a call comes in. It could also be a simple phone breakdown.
  • There is no need to call back to an unknown number. The fact is that this is a common technique of scammers, and a significant amount will be debited from your account for the call. Even if a respectable person called from a hidden number, he will call you back after a while.
  • If a hidden number tells you some unpleasant information about relatives or friends, do not take it as the truth. It is quite possible that this is a trick of scammers. You need to calmly listen to the speaker, and then try to double-check everything he told you. After you are sure that everything is okay with your family, contact the police. In this case, you can try to find out the hidden phone number yourself. This will make it easier for police officers to find the fraudster.
