There are situations where you would rather not disclose your phone number directly. But no matter why you prefer to remain anonymous: There are two ways of suppressing your own number on the iPhone.
Only suppress phone number for individual calls
It is possible to suppress your number only for individual calls. To do this, you have to enter a so-called GSM code in the numeric keypad . This consists of the prefix " # 31 # ". As you can see in the example, the actual phone number immediately follows the prefix.
Note: You can also save certain phone numbers in the contacts with this prefix. This means that your number will only be permanently withheld for these specific people..
