Blocking your telephone number from being displayed

You can block your telephone number from being displayed when you make a call. That way, the person you are calling does not see your number in the display of their telephone. This function is called "caller ID blocking" or "CLIR" (Calling Line Identification Restriction). You can either block your telephone number (caller ID) for just a specific call or for all of the calls you make.

  • The feature "caller ID blocking (CLIR) for individual calls" must have been enabled by your telephony provider.
