Many of us enjoy surprising someone who hasn't been answering our calls by hiding our numbers and giving them a ring. Additionally, there are times when we prefer to keep our identity anonymous, especially when we don't want specific information to be associated with us.
How to Hide My Number to Call Someone
There are various methods to hide your number on a Glo SIM, including using USSD codes and adjusting your phone settings.
Code to Hide Number
Here's how to hide your number on a Glo SIM using the USSD code:
- Open your phone app and dial #31# then send it. You'll receive a message confirming that your caller ID for all outgoing calls has been disabled. It's a quick and easy method for those seeking to hide their numbers on Glo.
- #31# private number
- After learning how to hide your number on a Glo SIM using the #31# code, remember that dialing the code will conceal your number from anyone you call. However, you can use the #31# private number code to hide your number from only one person.
- To do this, dial #31# followed by the phone number you want to call, and then send. For example, if you wish to conceal your number when calling 08075555777, dial #31#08075555777# and then send. This will only hide your number for that specific call.
