How To Block and Unblock Phone Numbers

No matter what network carrier you use,
the type of phone you're with you can block
your number from displaying to people
when you call, it's as simple as browsing the
net. If for one reason or the other you want to
block your number from displaying to
people when you call them, then you'd better
pay attention to this simple and yet effective
means that I will show you here. Guess what! You have two choices, yes two
choices which I found out for you alone, due
to the extent I went in finding this out I'd
appreciate it if you use the information
wisely. Like I mentioned ealier you have
two options, you either choose a temporary block or a permanent block
depending on your needs.

Temporary block
This is when you want to block your number
from displaying to a particular number, this
is temporary as you'll do it on a need-for-it
basis, you know a manual kind of a thing. To
do this dial *67 followed by the target's
number. For example, lets say I want to call this 222 222 222 number
and I don't want
my number to show on the receiver's phone,
to block or hide my number I dial *67 222
222 222 without space and send. This code
deactivates caller ID for that particular
number. Wo! I've just called a number without a number! Amazing.

Permanent Blocking
This is done when you don't want your
number to show on ALL numbers you call. It
can be said this is an automatic way of blocking/hiding phone numbers as once
you're set up, all calls made through that line
becomes IDless, i.e the number will become
invisible, the only downside of this, is it can't
be undone it stays maybe forever. To set
this up just pick your phone now and start dialing 611 (which is the
general code to call
custormer care), just call your cell carrier
and request for a permanent block from
caller ID, they'll try to convice you, but it's
you that will make the choice, not them. If you want to show your number
temporarily dial *82 before the target
number.

Supported Carriers

and all other network carriers.

Verizon, For Nigerian networks like MTN, Glo, Airtel
and Etisalat the general way to hide your
number is dialing *31# just before the target
number. You can also hide it through Settings
> phone or device > then tweek the settings
accordingly. Well well well you've seen it, what have you
to say say it! Cuz I won't no what you're
thinking if you don't say it. And please don't
hoard this share, with others, remember
sharing is caring.
