Permenantly?
Contact your providers and request it. Some mobile handsets will allow you to do that directly. Will not work with texts though - the number will still appear even if you barr outbound calls.


For the odd call, dial 141 before you dial the number and it will withhold your number on that call only. (landline and mobile)

Depending on the mobile make you can switch off the caller id from the settings.... which Mobile have you got JD79?

I have my number for my mobile automatically withheld by O2 but I can choose to send my number using the mobile handset for individual calls.

dialling 141 on your mobile might not with hold your number, you can do it in your settings. depends which phone you have on how you do it, it will be in call settings or security settings.

Most Nokia settings are the same so try this:

Menu

settings

call settings

Send my caller ID (Manufacturer set at 'set by network')

Choose from: 'set by network', 'yes' or 'no'

choosing No will permanently stop your number being displayed to whom ever you ring.

P.s This will not stop your number being displayed when sending a text.

Much easier, if you only want to restrict your number for selected numbers, just dial #31# before each the number then send.
It is a standard GSM code.

If "Set by network" then it will send CLID unless you prefix with 141 or #31# .
