Block your outgoing Caller ID info

You can block your outgoing Caller ID info for specific calls:

Dial: *67 + the phone number.

*67 applies to one call at a time. You need to use *67 each time you want to block your info.

*67 doesn’t prevent the display of your information when you dial certain numbers, like 911 or toll-free numbers.

Choose if your name displays to others in Caller ID by Google

On Android phones, caller ID by Google shows names for people and businesses not in your contacts. For example, if you get a call from a participating restaurant, you’re shown the restaurant’s name on your phone. You can turn Caller ID by Google on or off.

Your name and photo can be displayed in Caller ID by Google if you verify your phone number and have the setting turned on.

If you don’t want your info to be shared, go to your Google Account settings and uncheck the boxes under your phone number.

    Question

    How can I hide my caller ID so my number does not show on outgoing calls?

    Answer

    To block your outgoing Caller ID information so your number does not appear on the recipient's phone, you can use the following methods based on the Google Fi manual:

    • For specific calls: Dial *67 followed by the phone number (e.g., *67-555-0100). Note that you must use *67 each time you want to block your info, as it only applies to one call at a time.
    • Google Account Settings: If you want to prevent your name and photo from being shared via Caller ID by Google, go to your Google Account settings and uncheck the boxes under your verified phone number.

    Note: Blocking your caller ID will not work when calling emergency services (like 911) or certain toll-free numbers.
