Depending on whether you live, this process will vary. If you live in the UK, all you need to do is dial "141" before the number you are trying to reach. For example, if you are trying to call the phone number 555-5555, you would dial: 141-555-5555, and your number would show up as blocked. Note that the person who you are calling may be able to tell that you are specifically blocking them from seeing your number. If you live in the US, just dial "*69" before the number. Warning Note that you must dial the "141" or "*69" before dialling the phone number. Doing it after the fact will not allow you to remain anonymous.
