how do I make my phone number private
I want to make my number private so if someone googles my number my name doesnt show up !
On Android...
Go to your dialer-settings-call settings-additional settings-caller ID-hide number.
You can *67 before each call for temporary hide.
Be aware most people won't answer or apps and services will block calls from hidden or private numbers .
since switching my service to tmobile my name and number both appear if I search for one or the other. like the previous person was trying to emphasize we want our privacy and don't want our names and numbers to be sold off or listed into a public domain.
in the old days of landlines and phone books, a person was able to be left out of the book. I don't want to type my phone number into google search to find my name and address.
