Unblock my phone number (show outgoing caller ID again)

[danielvic]

Hello,

I enabled an option a while back that would block my phone id when I called someone. I can't figure out how to reverse this, so when I call others, they can't see my name and don't answer. Please assist me with this one. Thanks 🙂

There are ways to do it in the phones menus, but here is the definitive way to set/clear outgoing network default CID blocking using standard GSM codes with Public Mobile on any phone:

• Block outgoing caller ID for all future calls by dialing: *31#
• When blocking outgoing caller ID by default, you can enable it "per call" by prefixing *31# to a number (ie: *31#xxxyyyzzzz )

• Allow outgoing caller ID by default by dialing: #31#
• When allowing outgoing caller ID by default, you can disable it "per call" by prefixing #31# to a number (ie: #31#xxxyyyzzzz )

@danielvic  you did something like this before?

To block your number on iPhone:

1. Go to Settings, tap Phone

2. Press Show My Caller ID

3. Use the toggle switch to show or hide your number

To block your number on Android:

1. Open the Phone app, and open the Menu

2. Select Settings, then Call settings

3. Click on Additional settings, then Caller ID

4. Choose “Hide number” and your number will be hidden

To reverse this feature on Android, choose “Show number” or “Network default”

You can also use *82 to unblock your number in case your call gets rejected temporarily. Some providers and users will automatically block private numbers, so using this code will help you bypass this filter.

if you want to temporarily unblock your number after changing these settings, dial *82  before the number you want to call. This overrides your settings and shows your caller ID again.

As an example, if you wanted to block your phone number when calling 555-555-5555, you'd need to  *67 or #31#  dial *67-555-555-5555. 

How To block your number on Android: or unblock

How to Block Your Caller ID on an iPhone : or unblock

 @danielvic : Dig down in all the settings of your dialer app. On my Android it's called Show your caller ID.
