Title: How do I private call using *67
Post by: richmandr on March 07, 2014, 10:26:46 am
When I dial out on any other phone, *67 blocks my number.  On my Obi phone, it does not work. What adjustment do I make?

Also when I block my number and dial into my home Obi number, it does not ring as if my Obi is not allowing blocked calls from coming in. How to I adjust that?

Thanks

Who is your incoming call provider? Do you have your incoming call provider set to block anonymous calls?

My incoming call provider is Google voice over Comcast.

Pick up your phone and dial these to set/unset this behavior:

*77  Block Anonymous Calls
*87  Unblock Anonymous Calls

Thanks, that worked perfectly so I can leave that for the incoming calls. Do you know how I can block an outgoing call I make so the other person doesn't seen my number?  *67 usually works for other carriers.

Not sure how to do that, it doesn't work for me either.

Google Voice does not allow blocked outgoing Caller ID.
