By dialing a code before you place
a call, you can prevent your phone number from
appearing on the Caller ID display of the person
receiving your call.
How
to use:
1.
Lift the handset and listen for
the dial tone.
2.
Press *67. (On a rotary phone,
dial 1167).
3.
Listen for a confirmation tone
or announcement. Hang up.
To
turn off the service:
4.
PRIVATE
The person you’ve called will not be
able to see your number displayed on their Caller
ID display screen. Instead, a “P”
or “Private” will be displayed.
Note:
* You must dial *67 before each
call you place. Otherwise, your phone number
will be released to the person receiving your
call.* If you have requested Per-Line Blocking
from your telephone company, you do not need
to dial a code to block your number each time.
Your number will always appear as “Private.”
To override Per-Line Blocking (allowing your
number to be displayed) on an individual call,
dial *82 before placing the call.
