How To Hide Your 9mobile Number Using Ussd Code: (Updated Guide)
Maintaining privacy when making calls is important for many reasons. Whether you’re reaching out to someone for the first time or simply prefer to stay anonymous, hiding your phone number can be a useful feature. As a 9Mobile subscriber, you have the option to conceal your number when making calls using a simple USSD code. This updated guide will walk you through the steps to activate and deactivate this feature with ease.
Why Hide Your 9Mobile Number?
Hiding your number can prevent unwanted callbacks, protect your identity, or maintain your privacy in professional or personal interactions. When you hide your number, the recipient sees "Private Number" or "Unknown Number" instead of your actual phone number.
How to Hide Your 9Mobile Number Using USSD Code
For a Single Call
- Dial #31# followed by the recipient’s phone number.
- For example, to call 08098765432 while hiding your number, dial #31#08098765432 and press the call button.
- Your number will be hidden for this specific call only.
For All Outgoing Calls
- To permanently hide your number for all outgoing calls, dial *31# and press the call button.
- This ensures that your number remains hidden by default.
How to Show Your Number Again
To deactivate the permanent hide feature, dial #31# and press the call button. Your number will now appear on all outgoing calls.
Important Notes
