If you want to call someone and remain anonymous, this tutorial will teach you how to hide your phone number when calling from an iPhone.

Your personal phone number is included in "confidential information," and there are many scenarios where you need to keep it anonymous. For example, when you want to call a company and don't want them to record your phone number, a good idea is to call with a hidden number. It can also be useful when you need to use your personal phone for work-related purposes.

I am happy to share my experiences in the field of computers, mobile phones and operating systems, to develop web projects and to bring the most useful tutorials and advice. I like to "play" on the iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad, AirPort Extreme and on operating systems macOS, iOS, Android and Windows.
