How to Call Someone With No Caller ID (The 2026 Guide)

If you value your privacy, you might want to learn how to call someone with no caller ID. Whether you're calling a business, returning a missed call from an unknown number, or just want to keep your personal number private, making an anonymous call is easier than you think.

In this guide, we'll cover the three best ways to make a private call in 2026.

1. The Classic Method: Dial *67

The most common way to hide your caller ID is to use a vertical service code provided by your telecom carrier. In North America, the code is *67.

How to use it:

1. Open your phone's dialer.
2. Type *67 followed by the full number you want to call (including the area code).
3. Tap call.

For example, to call 555-0198, you would dial *675550198.

When the person receives the call, their screen will read "No Caller ID", "Private", or "Blocked".

Note: The *67 method does not work for toll-free numbers (like 1-800) or emergency numbers (like 911). It also may not work on all international carriers.

2. Hide Caller ID on iPhone & Android

If you want every call you make to be private, you can change a setting directly in your smartphone's operating system.

On iPhone:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Scroll down and tap Phone.
3. Tap Show My Caller ID.
4. Toggle the switch to the Off position.

On Android:

1. Open the Phone app.
2. Tap the three dots (menu) in the top right corner and select Settings.
3. Tap Calls (or Supplementary Services).
4. Tap Caller ID and select Hide number.

The catch: Many modern cellular carriers disable this setting. If you see the option greyed out or missing entirely, your carrier does not allow you to hide your caller ID at the system level.

3. The Modern Way: Use EzyRing

If *67 is failing or your carrier blocks you from hiding your caller ID, the absolute best method is to use a private VoIP dialer like EzyRing.

EzyRing operates over the internet, completely bypassing your local cellular carrier's restrictions.

Why use EzyRing?

• Total Privacy: You don't need a SIM card.
• Global Reach: Call anywhere in the world without worrying if *67 works on their local network.
• No Contracts: It's entirely prepaid.
• Custom Caller ID: You can choose to have No Caller ID, or verify your existing number to show a legitimate caller ID when you want to be recognized.
