Updated July 21, 2017 Making a temporary number block. This step is used for those of us who want to block our numbers on a call by call basis. Temporary blocking your number is the easiest and most practical way to keep your number from showing up on people’s caller ID. To block your phone number simply dial 67 before dialing the number. Ex 67 + 555-5555. This can be done from any location, from both a land line or cell phones. You may want to practice blocking your number so you can get the hang of it. You can use your home phone to call your cell phone or vise versa. It is also a good idea to call a number where you need to dial in the area code. When dialing in the area code you will follow the same step above. first dial *67 then 1 + the area code + the number. Your other option is to have your number permanently blocked from showing up on any caller ID. You can do on either a land line or a cell phone. Simply call your service provider and ask specifically to have your number blocked or flagged as private. By doing this your number will come up as a private number on any caller ID. But there are situations when you want your number to show on someone’s caller ID; you still have this option. When you have a permanently blocked number, you can unblock it by dialing 82 before placing the call. Ex: 82 + 555-5555, it is also the same if you need to dial the area code *82 + 1 + the area code + the number. Writer Bio
