Many factors contribute to people hiding their phone numbers when calling others.

The information in this article will guide you on how to properly hide numbers on MTN, no matter what might be prompting you to hide your number.

On MTN, there are three primary methods to hide phone numbers:

USSD codes 

The MTN hide number service with the USSD code *31# is that which lets your number appear as unknown or private to the person you’re calling. 

There are diverse ways to activate this service, and while one offers for just your number to be hidden at a particular time of call, they also offer another option to keep the number private to all the contacts you call.

Since MTN has vast coverage in at least 21 countries in Africa and the Middle East, the communication network makes sure they make available different codes to use in different countries.
