What is an anonymous number?

Nicholas Deckman

A number that cannot be tracked and when using Caller ID does not show up with anything other than "BLOCKED" or "PRIVATE CALLER."

Question

What do i do if I get an unable to connect when I try to use 67?

Julie

Community Answer

Are you using the * (star) key first before the 67? If you are, then perhaps the person you are trying to block your number from does not accept blocked calls.

Question

How do I make an anonymous call on an iPhone 6s?

Community Answer

First, go to the “Settings” app and tap on “Phone.” Next, tap “Show My Caller ID” and then slide to "OFF." This will prevent your phone number from showing up on the receiving end.

You can request to remain anonymous, however, they can trace your I.P. or phone number and get an approximate location of where you are.

Question

What is this thing before and after 67 that I have to put in?

Community Answer

Look at your phone's keypad. You should see a symbol that looks like a star or an asterisk. Press this button, then 67, then the phone number you are trying to call.

Question

How can I stop my calls from showing up anonymously?

Community Answer

If you don't want your calls to other people to show up as anonymous, just don't use these steps. Unfortunately there's no way for you to stop receiving anonymous phone calls unless you got a restricted number.

Question

If I make an anonymous call with *671, can they call back?

Julie

Community Answer

No, because you block your number. If someone calls you back they may have tracing software. Police Departments, governments, etc usually have this kind of software. If you call a person it is also possible that they guessed it was you and called back.

Can I make a free phone call from a computer?

Julie

Community Answer

There is a way that you can call using Gmail or Google from your computer. However, if you do not have a microphone you cannot talk, but you can hear someone answer if you have speakers.

Question

When I type 67, it doesn't call. Are you sure that's how?

Community Answer

It's *67xxx-xxx-xxxx. Preface the number that you want to call with *67. The number should show up as unknown for the other person if you do that.

Question

If calling anonymously, can they trace the call through phone records?

Entranced98

Top Answerer

Anonymous calls can be traced if they are reported to the police for any reason, no matter how hard you try to hide your number. Usually this is if the call is threatening, harassing, or an unsolicited scam. Inappropriate calls to emergency services, crisis hotlines etc. can similarly be traced right back to you.
