What is Caller ID Blocking?

Caller ID Blocking prevents your name and/or number from being shown on someone’s Caller ID display.

Per-Call Blocking is accomplished by entering a simple code, which prevents your name and/or number from being displayed on an individual call basis.

Per-line Blocking through Norvado prevents calls placed from your number from being displayed. There is no charge for Caller ID Blocking.

To use Caller ID Blocking Per-Call:

  1. Press *67. (On a rotary phone, dial 1167.) Enter the number you’re calling as usual.

  2. The person you’ve called will not be able to see your name and/or number displayed on their display screen. Instead, a “P” or “Private” will be displayed. You must press *67 before each call you place. Otherwise, your name and/or phone number will be released to the person receiving the call.

To use Caller ID Blocking Per-Line:

If you have requested Per-Line Blocking from Norvado, you do not need to dial a code to block your name and/or number each time. Your number will always appear as “Private”.

To turn off Per-Line Blocking:

(Allowing your name and/or number to be displayed on an individual call)

Press *82 (On a rotary phone, dial 1182.) before placing the call. Enter the number you’re calling as usual.

Note:

  • Caller ID Blocking will not work when calling toll free numbers, 700, 900, 976, 950, or 911 numbers.
