I'd rather folks didn't know my number. Is there a way to block my number from showing up when I make calls? SIMon says you can press #31#, the area code and the number to do this. However with my previous providor there was a permanent way to do it so that I didn't have to dial #31# before each and every single phone call. Wondering if PM has anything like that?

That's a very good point. I don't think if's only @hairbag1 who feels that way. I think most people won't answer if you block the number so @ljdemont , this could render your phone almost useless for outgoing calls.

Doing it from the phone settings is a much better option because if it's turned off by the moderartors, you can't turn it back on without their help again. I don't think the moderators will do it.

There are 3 choices available:

If you have an Android phone go into the dialer settings, call settings, additional settings, caller ID and out pops a menu that allows you to block your phone number.
