Making an anonymous call from your iPhone can be useful in certain situations where you prefer to keep your identity hidden. There are a few methods you can try to achieve this. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make an anonymous call from your iPhone:
1. Using *67: One common method is to use the *67 feature before dialing the phone number. This will block your caller ID and prevent the recipient from seeing your phone number. Here’s how to do it:
A. Open the Phone app on your iPhone.
B. Dial *67 before the ten-digit phone number you wish to call (including the area code).
C. Press the call button to initiate the call.
2. Using #31#: In some cases, using #31# instead of *67 may work better, especially for certain carriers like T-Mobile. Here’s how to do it:
A. Open the Phone app on your iPhone.
B. Dial #31# before entering the ten-digit phone number you want to call (including the area code).
C. Press the call button to make the call.
It’s important to note that the effectiveness of these methods may vary depending on your carrier and the recipient’s carrier. Some carriers may not support these features, or the recipient may have settings that prevent anonymous calls.
Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that while these methods can hide your phone number, they may not hide your identity completely. Call recipients may still be able to identify you based on your voice, the content of the call, or other contextual factors.
In my personal experience, using *67 has generally been more effective for hiding my caller ID on most carriers. However, there have been instances where #31# worked better, so it’s worth trying both methods if one doesn’t work initially.
To summarize, making an anonymous call from your iPhone can be done by using *67 or #31# before dialing the desired phone number. Remember that the effectiveness of these methods may vary, and your identity may still be discernible through other means.
