@melazabb Enter #31# before dialing the number, from Public Mobile instructions here:

@melazabb , what phone are you using. I think for iPhone the setting is to turn off caller ID on the phone app. For android there is also a call ID option that can be turned off. Depending on brand, that setting may be location in different parts of the settings menu.

Hey @melazabb

@will13am is correct. Depending on what phone you have, it may be built into the system. For example:

If you have an iPhone, go into Settings, Scroll down to Phone, then Scroll down to "Show My Caller ID", click on it and turn the toggle from green to grey. There you go. Your phone number is now blocked.

If you have an Android, this part can be tricky as almost everyone phone that uses Android, has their own set up on how to block your number from showing up. You may need to Google your phone on how to block it.

Hope this helps.
