How to Hide your Phone Number when Calling & Texting

If you wish to hide your phone number when calling & texting, just access Settings from the Home screen. To hide your number when making an outgoing call, access Settings > Phone > Show My Caller ID and toggle the switch to disable it. 

Hiding your caller ID when you make a call should provide you some sort of privacy as it will not show your number. That means you can lessen the probability of someone you don’t know to get your number without your permission.
