Outsmarting Unwanted Calls: Your Simple Solution to Private Numbers

WRITTEN BY: CHIOMA MADONNA NDUKWU

Receiving unwanted calls from a private number? You’re not alone. Telemarketers, spammers, and scammers could be the culprits. To handle this, explore the alternatives obtainable in this write up.

Stay vigilant in the midst of ongoing events. To call a number discreetly, dial *67 followed by the desired number. This conceals your phone number, appearing as “Private” on the recipient’s caller ID. Remember to use *67 each time you want to block your number.

Despite its intended benefits, technology is sometimes misused, as seen with scams (commonly known as 419). If you receive calls from a concealed number, exercise caution. Learn how to identify private number callers and recognize them before answering.

Private callers often hide their caller ID, using various strategies like pre-election phone fundraising. Combat this by setting a unique ringtone for specific contacts or using codes like *#30# or *69 to reveal hidden numbers.
