When a caller’s information is blocked from being displayed to the recipient, the call is often described using a specific term. This action prevents the recipient from seeing the caller’s phone number or name on their caller ID. For example, if an individual chooses to conceal their phone number before making a call, the recipient’s phone will display a message indicating that the call is from a private or unknown number.
The capability to hide one’s phone number offers a layer of privacy for the caller. This can be particularly useful in situations where an individual needs to contact someone without revealing personal information. Historically, this feature was frequently employed by businesses and telemarketers, but its use has evolved to encompass personal situations where maintaining anonymity is desired.
