Caller ID Block

Block Your Outgoing Caller ID - Protect your privacy

Before you dial your desired number, you have the ability to block your number to the party you are calling. You can activate the Caller ID blocking feature on a per call basis or on all calls.


To block your number on a per call basis:

1.Pick up the phone and dial *67.

2.You will then hear a stutter dial tone followed by a regular tone -- this indicates that the command code was recognized.

3.Proceed to make your call. The party you are calling will see an “Anonymous” on their called ID instead of your name or number.


To deactivate Caller ID blocking on a per call basis:

1.Pick up the phone handset and dial *82.

2.Hang up the phone handset.


Usage Notes:

  The next call you make will NOT block your Caller ID since this service code is for a single call only.


To block your number on all outgoing calls:

1.Pick up the phone and dial *95

2.You will then hear a stutter dial tone followed by a regular tone – this indicates that the command code was recognized.

3.Proceed to make your call. The party you calling will see an “Anonymous” on their caller ID instead of your name or number.


To deactivate Caller ID blocking on all calls:

1.Pick up the phone handset and dial *96.

2.Hang up the phone handset.

How do I block my name and number from being revealed to someone using *69?

Activate Per Call Blocking by dialing *67 prior to dialing your call. This prevents your phone number and the associated name from being revealed to someone using *69 and appearing on a Caller ID display unit. There is no charge for this service.


Why do I receive a recording stating that the party does not accept blocked or private calls on some numbers?

The person that you are calling has activated Anonymous Call Rejection. Anonymous Call Rejection rejects calls that are marked “private” or “anonymous.” Since you have blocked your Caller ID, your call is blocked. To complete the call, you will need to deactivate your Caller ID blocking and dial again.

To deactivate your Caller ID blocking for a single call, hang up and then pick up the handset and press *82. Then redial the phone number. Your call should be connected.
