Want hidden number when calling phones.

I am using my skype account for international mystery-shopping. Is there anyway that I can hide the number? Currently it looks like I am calling from California when I call, which looks strange when I do mystery shopping to European businesses. And since I do multiple calls to the same place I would like for the call to be anonymous. Help??
Thank you for responding.

    he wants to HIDE his number when he calls from the desktop. as in, a number does not appear on the screen of the person who's receiving the call. i have a skype number but want to do the same, on some occasions. how can this be done?

    Hey everyone looking to hide their number,
    I have been searching for how to make this work since Skype updated recently. I even spent about an hour on the live chat with a customer service rep, who was very little help at all. In the past it was as simple as Tools->Options->Calls Tab->Disable Caller ID. Well that option/setting is no longer available. But rest assured it is possible to hide your number. This afternoon I decided to try activating the caller ID, then deactivating it. By doing this it now shows my number as unknown for everyone that I call. Hope this helps you all.
    TL;DR Activate caller ID, then Deactivate CallerID to hide number.
    Have a good one,

  • How do I block my number when calling someone

    How do I block my number when I call someone?

    You need to request that to your carrier.  Only they can hide your number from the Caller Id feature. Its not sometihng you can do on your phone.
    With that said, what does this have to do with Appleworks?   Apple works is an old defunct Office suite, like iWork, and Ms Office.  I'll request this be moved to the iPhone forum.

  • Can't see my number when call or send SMS

    Hi,
    I have followed the instruction on this page:
    https://support.skype.com/en-us/faq/FA672/How-do-I​-show-my-mobile-number-when-sending-texts-from-Sky​...
    I activated my number a month ago but still when I can someone from Skype or send them a SMS they don't see my number. They see a random number.
    When I go to reactivatte my phone number it doesn't let me. It says it already has been activated.
    What should I do?

    If the user manual solutions do not work, take your iPod Nano in for repairs as you are still under warranty for hardware issues.

  • Show my cell number when calling and still reacha...

    Hi,
    I have activated so my cell phone number is showed when making skype out calls.
    I also want to activate a "skype in" number so people can call me on skype using a Swedish number.
    If I activate "skype in", can I still make calls on "skype out" and that the reciever of the call sees my cell number? I don't want the "skype" in number to be showed.
    I would like to know this before enabling "skype in". Thanks in advance!

    Hi, Jungheinrich, and welcome to the Community,
    What you describe is how I have my Caller ID set up, and it works for me - I am in the USA.  Here is a link to the library of FAQ articles related to Caller ID, so you can peruse and make an informed decision - I do not know if Caller ID is upported in your location.

  • Hide called number when calling is tranfered to called

    Hi,
    My client is asking for a feature he had before on ist old Alactel PBX and can't find it in the service parameters.
    Actually when someone call the helpdesk number at night, the help desk transfer him to the mobile of the in charge person, the issue with Cisco 4.1(3)SR6 is that the mobile number appears on the screen of the IpPhone which is A big problem since the guys can know call the in charge person directly without following the procedure !!
    Do you have any solution or it is simply impossible. Actually my client doesn't mind if its for all transfer!!
    Thanks for your help

    Ok, sorry I didn't understand from the description!
    You will need to set the Calling Line Presentation on the gateways then to restrict the outbound number.
    You can do this by going into the route list details and set the "Calling Party Transformations" to "off". This will restrict the CLID sending of any calls going outbound (for anybody within your organisation using this gateway).
    If I've still not understood this and you mean you want to stop the mobile number from sending its CLID then unfortunately you've had to turn this off on the mobile.

You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • Block my number when calling out

    I just used *67 to call a 800 number and this did not work?   Why?

    You cannot block 800-877-888-900 numbers with that feature.
    Companies pay for these numbers and harvest the callers. The phone company (Verizon) should have known that.
    Good Luck

  • HT4061 HOW CAN I GET MY SERIAL NUMBER WHEN MY PHONE DOES NOT POWER ON

    ERROR 4005
    ALWAYS MAJOR TROUBLES WITH YOUR #@#@#@ UPDATE....
    Since I have done the update for IOS 7.1 my iphone 5S does not power on anylonger or more exactly remains stucked on the apple logo until there is battery...
    I am in europe right now and for 10 more days and I do not have phone anylonger.....
    I have tried to reset, restore.... connect on Itunes....
    Once the IPhone 5S is powering on by pressing both general button and the power switch more than 5 sec,
    It says please connect this iphone to Itunes for being restored,
    Once the procedure completed, extracted, loaded etc,
    then the iphone is shutting down for restarting,
    On itunes it says looking for iphone.... and you wait you wait you wait,
    the iphone is stucked on the apple logo and ?
    Nothing for then having a pop up saying "the iphone "iphone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (4005)
    Of course I cannot provide the serial # because my telephone DO NOT WORK !
    Nothing. so frustrating.
    The connection is made with apple chords and connected to my last macbookair... nothing strange.

    Not sure why you need the serial # if you phone is locked.
    Plug it into iTunes, and you can get the serial #, and also unlock your phone.

  • Is there a way to access an "ICE" (in case of emergency) phone number when the phone is locked?

    Or is 911 in the US the only option to make an emergency call?

    the notes app is certainly an easy way to go - the advantage to an app like EmercenAid is you can store other contacts, including your Doctor information, allergies, medical consition and history and any medications you take in the app - so if an emeergency worker opens the app they have access to valuable informaton about you

  • Calling phones from other than home country

    While traveling overseas, in order to call phone numbers, should I use home country international dialing code or the code of the country I am in? Have tried several ways but nothing seems to be working.

    Thanks for your response. But let me state the problem differently. I live in the US and am traveling in Brazil now. I have enough Skype credits to make call mobile/landline numbers.
    While dialing from USA I dial 00 + country code + area code + number.
    My question is how do I dial an international number while in Brazil? Above format does not work. The code to dial international numbers from Brazil is 0021+ country code+ area code +number. But it does not work. I am surprised that this routine question is not answered on Skype web site and I have to post a message in order to get help.
    You would dial telephone numbers from Skype the same way, wherever you are, and even if you are in the same country as the number you are dialing.  Your location is irrelevant to Skype when calling phones. 
    To call a number in the States, you would dial +1 xxx xxx-xxxx (or 00 1 instead of +1).  For Brazil, you would have to start out with the Brazilian country code +55 (or 00 55) followed by the Brazilian area code and phone number.  The 21 you are referring to appears to be a code to select a Brazilian telephone carrier Embratel when placing a call within Brazil.  You can't use those carrier-selection codes when dialing from Skype.  Skip that, and dial the rest of the number as you outlined - 00, then country code, then area code and number.

  • Error message "Invalid mobile number" when changin...

    I have added my mobile phone number to be my identification number when calling and texting. That was 2 years ago. Last year a nationwide change on all Qatari number was performed to increase its length by repeating the first digit. More info can be found here. Now when I change the number to accomodate this change by increasing 1 digit, it is telling me: "Invalid mobile number". I think Skype should change the rule for Qatari numbers and increase its length by one.

    This depends on where your Online Number is located, as not all Online Numbers can be used for Caller ID.  From my own 4 Online Numbers, I can use the numbers in the USA and UK as Caller ID, but not those from Australia or Mexico.  Local/national regulations or limitations from Skype's partners providing those Online Numbers may be to blame, if your Online Number(s) can't be used as Caller ID.
    To see if you can use that number as Caller ID, log into your Skype account here on the Skype web site (click on the "Account" link at the top of this page).  You should be able to go in and change your Caller ID settings once you get in.  If your Online Number is eligible for use as Caller ID, you should see it as an option (or maybe the only option) when you get in there.  If it can't be used, then your only option would be to use the two-step SMS verification process and set a mobile number as your Caller ID when calling telephones from Skype.
    More info on the Caller ID stuff with Skype is available at the "Caller ID" link at the bottom of this page.  Good luck!
