How do you "hide" your home phone number

[Marcellus]

I work from home and often use my private telephone number to make work calls but don't want the people I'm calling to know my number.

Is there a way to hide it?

Thanks in advance.

Dial 141 before the number, that used to work. You could test it out by ringing another mobile and see what shows up.

dial '141' before dialling the number.

ie 01234567890 = 14101234567890

Or phone up your supplier and request this be done automatically (though this will apply to all calls)

Dial 141 then the number.

I think you can have it as a permanent feature through the supplier?

Further to this, most mobile phones have a feature in their settings to switch this on or off.

The iPhone is settings > phone > show my caller ID
