Block your outgoing Caller ID info
You can block your outgoing Caller ID info for specific calls:
*Dial: 67 + the phone number.**
67 applies to one call at a time. You need to use 67 each time you want to block your info.
*67 doesn’t prevent the display of your information when you dial certain numbers, like 911 or toll-free numbers.
Choose if your name displays to others in Caller ID by Google
On Android phones, caller ID by Google shows names for people and businesses not in your contacts. For example, if you get a call from a participating restaurant, you’re shown the restaurant’s name on your phone. You can turn Caller ID by Google on or off.
Your name and photo can be displayed in Caller ID by Google if you verify your phone number and have the setting turned on.
If you don’t want your info to be shared, go to your Google Account settings and uncheck the boxes under your phone number.
