Protect Your Number

Only give your phone number out to people that you want to have it. You can hide your number by setting it to 'private' in the settings of your phone, but there's an even easier way - dial 1831 before you call.

For example, if you wanted to call 02 9870 2200, but didn't want the person on the other end to see your number, you should ring 1831 02 9870 2200 instead.

(This works when you're ringing from and to a mobile or a landline phone! This has been tested in Australia, there may be another prefix you should dial elsewhere in the world
