When you block your caller ID and call someone, your phone number is not displayed on the recipient's phone. You can hide your caller ID on your iPhone, Android phone, and carriers like AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. We'll show you how.
As long as your caller ID is hidden, your call recipient sees "Private", "Anonymous" or a similar term instead of your phone number. Later, you can disable the option to start showing your number.
Notes: Not all carriers allow you to hide your phone number. If you can't find the option to block caller ID, your carrier probably has it blocked. In this case, contact your service provider for more information.

Disable Caller ID for a Single Call with AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon
To disable your caller ID for individual calls instead of all calls, use your carrier's prefix before dialing a phone number. This way, your carrier ensures that your phone number is hidden on the recipient's phone.
However, note that your phone number will be displayed when you call toll-free numbers or emergency services.
To hide your caller ID on Verizon or T-Mobile, add *67 before the phone number you want to dial, then press the call key. Be sure to include the area code in the phone number.
For example, to dial (555) 555-1234 , you would type:
* 675555551234
If you are with AT&T, prefix your phone number with *67 and add the # key at the end.
To call (555) 555-1234, enter the following:
* 675555551234 #
And that's how you enjoy privacy while still being able to talk to people. Very useful!
