Dialing *82 on an iPhone temporarily unblocks your caller ID for a single call. If you have set your number to be blocked by default in your phone settings or with your carrier, using *82 before the number will display your caller ID specifically for that call. This is useful if you're calling a number that doesn't accept calls from blocked numbers, ensuring your call gets through without changing your overall privacy settings.
