How To Hide Your Airtel Number Using Ussd Code: (Updated Guide)
Have you ever wanted to call someone without revealing your phone number? Whether for privacy reasons or to maintain anonymity, hiding your Airtel number is a simple process that can be achieved through a USSD code. This updated guide will show you how to do it easily.
Airtel Nigeria offers a feature that enables you to mask your phone number when making outgoing calls. When activated, your recipient will see “Private Number” or “Unknown Caller” instead of your actual Airtel number. Here’s how to use it:
Steps to Hide Your Airtel Number Using USSD Code
Dial the USSD Code:
To activate the private number service on Airtel, dial #31# before the phone number you want to call. For example, if you want to call 08012345678, dial #31#08012345678, and your number will be hidden.
Check the Setting for All Calls (Optional):
If you prefer to hide your number for all outgoing calls, you can activate the feature permanently. Dial *31# and follow the prompts.
Deactivate Hidden Number:
To stop hiding your number for all outgoing calls, dial #31# again, and your caller ID will be displayed as usual.
Important Notes
-
This feature might not work when calling certain numbers, such as emergency or toll-free numbers.

Some recipients might block private numbers, so your call may not go through.

Airtel may charge a small fee for using this service; confirm by contacting Airtel customer care at 111.
Hiding your Airtel number is a handy trick to protect your privacy. Use it wisely and responsibly, and always ensure your intentions are respectful when masking your identity.
