To temporarily block caller ID on your iPhone, dial 67 followed by the number you wish to call. This masks your number, displaying 'Private' or 'Unknown' to the recipient. For example, to block your caller ID when calling 123-456-7890, dial 671234567890. Remember, this method works on a per-call basis, so you'll need to use *67 each time you want to hide your number.
