To use Star 67 on your iPhone: Simply dial `*67` followed by the phone number you wish to call. This will temporarily block your caller ID, ensuring your number appears as 'Private' or 'Blocked' to the recipient. For example, if you want to call 555-1234, you would dial `*67 555-1234`. This is especially useful for maintaining privacy when making calls. Remember, you need to dial 67 each time you wish to block your number, as it doesn’t save between calls.*
