Code to Hide Number on Glo – How to Make Private Calls Easily

If you’re a Glo user in Nigeria, you may have wondered how to make a call without revealing your phone number. Whether you’re trying to surprise a friend, protect your privacy, or keep your number safe from strangers, Glo has a simple feature that allows you to hide your number before making a call.

In this guide, you’ll learn:

Why Would You Want to Hide Your Number on Glo?

Hiding your number is a useful feature for several reasons:

Privacy Protection – You may not want the receiver to store your number.
Surprise Calls – For fun or special occasions, you might want to remain anonymous.
Security Reasons – When calling an unknown person or business.
Avoiding Callbacks – Useful when you don’t want to be disturbed later.

Code to Hide Number on Glo (One-Time Use)

If you want to hide your number for just one call, you can use this method:

Dial #31# followed by the phone number you want to call.
Example:
```
#31#08050000000
```
Press the call button.

Once the person receives your call, your number will show as "Private Number" or "Unknown Caller".

Note: This method only works for the specific call you are making. The next call you make will display your number unless you hide it again.

How to Hide Your Glo Number Permanently

If you don’t want your number to ever appear when calling, you can change your phone’s settings so that your number is always hidden.

For Android Phones:

Open the Phone app.
Tap the three dots (menu) in the top-right corner.
Select Settings.
Tap Calls or Call Settings.
Select Additional Settings.
Tap Caller ID.
Choose Hide Number.

For iPhones:

Open Settings.
Scroll down and select Phone.
Tap Show My Caller ID.
Toggle the switch OFF.

Once you do this, every call you make will show as Private Number until you change the setting again.

How to Unhide Your Number on Glo

If you’ve hidden your number and want to show it again, simply reverse the process:

For one-time display, dial:
```
*31#PhoneNumber
```
Example:
```
*31#08050000000
```
If you changed your phone settings, go back and select Show Number (Android) or turn Show My Caller ID back ON (iPhone).

Things to Keep in Mind When Hiding Your Number on Glo

Some people don’t answer private calls because they assume it’s spam.
Certain businesses and organizations may have blocked anonymous calls, so your call might not go through.
Hiding your number does not make you completely anonymous—law enforcement and network providers can still trace calls.
If you’re calling customer service numbers, your caller ID will still be visible to them.

Alternative Privacy Tip – Use a Temporary Number

If you frequently need to hide your identity when calling strangers, you can use apps like Google Voice or TextNow to get a free secondary phone number. You can also buy a cheap SIM and use it only for special calls.
