Yes, dialing *67 before making a phone call blocks your Caller ID for that specific call.
Understanding *67 and Caller ID Blocking
The *67 code is a widely used feature that allows you to hide your phone number from the person you are calling. This is often referred to as "Caller ID blocking" or "anonymous calling."
How *67 Works: A Temporary Solution
- According to Verizon's support page, dialing *67 before a phone number blocks your number from being displayed temporarily for that specific call.
- The recipient of the call will see "Private," "Blocked," or a similar message instead of your phone number.
Example: Using *67
To block your number for a call to 555-123-4567, you would dial *675551234567.
Temporary vs. Permanent Caller ID Blocking
It's important to remember that *67 only blocks your Caller ID on a call-by-call basis. If you want to permanently block your Caller ID, you typically need to contact your phone service provider for options.
