Whether you are calling from a mobile phone or a landline, it is possible to make calls anonymously by masking your phone number when you call. In this article, you will learn how to do it.

On Android, it is possible to activate a setting that will allow you to make your phone number private for all of your outgoing calls.

To do this, go to the phone app, open the menu (three vertical dots), and click Settings. Next, click Call settings followed by Additional settings. In the menu that opens, click Caller ID, then finish by clicking Hide number.

Note that this process can vary depending on the model of your phone and the software version on which it is running.
