Configure outbound caller ID blocked

Outbound caller ID blocking is a feature that prevents your phone number from being displayed to the person you're calling. Instead of seeing your number, the recipient typically sees "Unknown," "Private Number," or "Blocked" on their caller ID.

Before you begin:

• When turned on, this feature blocks the customer's phone number when makingan outbound call.
• This enables a privacy flag on the SIP message that is sent on the outbound call.
• This feature does not work if enabled on the following types of numbers, due torequirements:
  
  • Emergency Numbers / 911 Service
  • Toll-free numbers
• If turned on, the customer may not be able to make outbound calls to a particularnumber for the following reasons:
  
  • Anonymous Call Rejection enabled on the receiving end.
  • Any other blocking is enabled for Caller ID being hidden on the receivingend.
