Block caller ID on Verizon: How to hide your number when calling

Sometimes you may want to keep your phone number private when making a call. With Verizon, you can easily block your caller ID so the person you’re calling sees “Private” or “Blocked” instead of your number.

Here’s how to block caller ID on Verizon, whether you want to do it for a single call or all the time.

How Verizon caller ID blocking works

When you turn on caller ID blocking, your number won’t show up on the recipient’s screen. Instead, they’ll see “Private,” “Restricted,” or “Unknown.”

You can:

• Block caller ID for one call at a time.
• Turn on permanent caller ID blocking through your Verizon account.
• Change your settings anytime if you want your number to show again.

How to block caller ID on Verizon for one call

1. On your Verizon phone, dial *67.
2. Enter the 10-digit number you want to call. (Example: *67-555-123-4567 )
3. Press Send. Your number will be hidden for that call only.

How to block caller ID on Verizon permanently

You can also set your line to block caller ID on all outgoing calls.

Using the My Verizon website

1. Sign in to your My Verizon account.
2. Go to Account > My Devices.
3. Select the line you want to manage.
4. Find Caller ID settings.
5. Turn on Block Caller ID.

Using the My Verizon app

1. Open the My Verizon app.
2. Tap Account > Manage Device.
3. Choose the line you want to update.
4. Select Caller ID settings.
5. Turn on Block Caller ID.

Now, all your outgoing calls will appear as “Private.”

How to unblock caller ID

If you want your number to show temporarily while permanent blocking is turned on:

1. Dial *82, then the 10-digit number. (Example: *82-555-123-4567)
2. Press Send. This allows your number to display for that one call.
