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.
- Find the “Call Options” section in the settings.
- “More” (or “Additional properties”).
- Check the “Hide number” option.
- Reboot your device.
- Check the function.
For Android 6.0 and above:
- Go to the Phone application.
- Find the icon in the form of three dots in the search bar of the application and click on it.
- “Settings” (or “Properties”).
- "Call settings".
- "Additional settings".
- "Anti caller ID."
- “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.
- Go to "Settings".
- In the menu that opens, select “Phone”.
- Open "Show number".
- Move the “Show number” slider to the inactive position.
- 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.

Next, select one of the following commands:

After item No. 3 is selected, an automatic connection request will be created. And even if there is not enough money in the account to pay for at least one day of use, the application will still maintain an active status. In this case, at the time of the next replenishment of the account, money will be withdrawn within the package for a month (30 days), or in case of insufficient funds to pay for the monthly amount - in one day.
Additional service management and other issues
In addition to the control menu, there is another useful function that will help you not to be disconnected from the service every time. It is needed for one-time display of the number.
Before dialing the subscriber's phone numbers, you first need to add the combination *31#, and then dial the number itself. Here is an example of such a set: *31#80931112233. In this case, the number will be displayed for the called subscriber as long as it is dialed in the usual format. When dialing without the *31# prefix, the caller's anonymity will again be ensured.
Please note that the correct operation of the hidden number option can only be ensured within the network. When calling other operators, anonymity cannot be fully guaranteed.
As for SMS messages. When they are sent to the recipient, the information will be shown not in hidden mode. This simply cannot be applied to messages, much less to short numbers, or services such as “Call me Life” and “Who called”.

If money has not been received to the subscriber account for a period of more than 30 days, and there was not enough money to charge the daily fee, the anti-identifier services will be disabled automatically.
