To keep your number private when calling, dial *67 before entering the phone number you wish to call. This will hide your caller ID, displaying 'Unknown' or 'Private' to the recipient. Additionally, you can change settings on your mobile device: For iPhone, go to 'Settings' > 'Phone' > 'Show My Caller ID' and toggle it off. For Android, open the 'Phone' app, press 'Menu' > 'Settings' > 'Calls' > 'Additional Settings' > 'Caller ID' and select 'Hide number'.** Remember, some services may not allow anonymous calls.
