How To Hide Your Glo Number Using Ussd Code: (Updated Guide)

In today’s digital world, maintaining privacy is a growing concern. Whether for business or personal reasons, there are times you might want to keep your GLO phone number private when making calls. Thankfully, GLO Nigeria offers an easy way to hide your caller ID using a simple USSD code. This updated guide will show you how to activate and deactivate this feature seamlessly.

Why Hide Your Number?

There are several reasons to hide your phone number. It could be to prevent unwanted callbacks, ensure anonymity, or maintain privacy when calling unfamiliar contacts. GLO’s hidden number feature ensures your number does not appear on the recipient’s phone, displaying “Private Number” or “Unknown Number” instead.

Steps to Hide Your GLO Number Using USSD Code

Activate Caller ID Hiding

• Dial #31# before the phone number you wish to call.
• For example, if you want to call 08012345678, dial #31#08012345678 and press the call button.
• Your number will be hidden only for that specific call.

Deactivate Caller ID Hiding

• To show your number again, simply dial the number without adding #31#.

How to Permanently Hide Your Number

To activate the permanent hide feature:

• Dial *31# and press the call button.
• This will ensure your number is hidden for all outgoing calls.

To deactivate the permanent hide feature:

• Dial #31# and press the call button.

Things to Note

• Some recipients may have apps or settings that reveal hidden numbers.
• Certain organizations, like emergency services, may bypass the hidden number setting.
• Ensure you use this feature responsibly to avoid any misunderstanding or legal issues.

With this guide, you can now take control of your privacy on the GLO network. Always remember to switch off the hidden number feature when it’s no longer necessary.
