Do you want to hide your phone number on your Samsung Galaxy? Fortunately, you can hide your number with a tap of a few buttons. This wikiHow article teaches you how to prevent the person you’re calling from seeing your phone number when you're using a Samsung Galaxy. Please note that this feature is not available in every region, and some carriers require you to have your caller ID showing.
Quick Steps
- Open the Phone app.
- Tap the More menu.
- Tap Settings.
- Tap Supplementary services.
- Tap Show your caller ID to see more options.
- Tap Never to hide your phone number on Samsung Galaxy.
Steps
-
Open the Phone app. It’s the green icon with a white phone receiver. You’ll usually find it on the home screen.
-
Tap ⋮. The "More" menu has three dots in a vertical line. You'll see it at the top-right corner of the screen.Advertisement
-
Tap Settings. This will expand the settings for the Phone app.
-
Tap Supplementary services. You might need to scroll down the Settings menu to find it.
- This menu can be "More Settings" instead.
-
Tap Show your caller ID. You'll see the current setting in green text below this menu header.[1]
-
Tap Never. Now your caller ID won't display to others when you call them.
- If you have a second SIM card in your phone, you can also hide your caller ID for that phone number using the "Show your caller ID" under the "SIM card 2" header.
- You can also use *67 to make a call private. Dialing this code is temporary, so your next call will show your caller ID unless you dial *67 again.
- If you don't have a Samsung Galaxy, you can still hide your number. This wikiHow article shows you how!
