How To Hide Your Mtn Number Using Ussd Code: (Updated Guide)
In today’s world, privacy is crucial, and there are times when you might want to keep your phone number private during calls. Whether you’re making business inquiries or protecting your personal information, MTN Nigeria offers a simple way to hide your number when placing calls. This guide provides the updated steps to hide your MTN number using a USSD code.
Why Hide Your Number?
Hiding your number allows you to make calls anonymously. When you activate this feature, the receiver will see “Private Number” or “Unknown Caller” instead of your phone number. This can be useful for security reasons or when you want to keep your identity confidential.
Steps to Hide Your MTN Number Using USSD Code
Access the USSD Menu
Dial #31# followed by the phone number you wish to call. For example, if you want to call 08012345678, you would dial #31#08012345678.
Make Your Call
Press the call button, and your number will be hidden for that particular call. The recipient will see “Private Number” instead of your actual number.
Permanently Hiding Your Number
If you want to hide your number for all outgoing calls:
- Open your phone’s dialer settings.
- Look for “Caller ID” or “Call Settings.”
- Select “Hide Number” under the Caller ID option.
Alternatively, you can contact MTN customer care by dialing 180 to request assistance in enabling this feature permanently.
How to Show Your Number Again
To reverse the process, dial *31# before the number or go back to your phone settings and select “Show Number.”
Conclusion
Hiding your MTN number is easy and effective when you need privacy. However, use this feature responsibly, as some services and recipients may block private numbers. Stay informed and make the most of MTN’s features to safeguard your communication needs.
