Lotza of 1-800-... call free stuff

press *67 then you'll get another dial tone. That blocks your # from the recieving end.

Does anyone have any "funny" 800 numbers?
I remember 1-800-IFEELOK which was hillarious. And there was one number that was put on by some tobacco company which was funny. Anyone have any that still work?

I remember reading in the yellow pages here in NY that *67 doesn't work when you're calling businesses.

According to this page caller ID blocking doesn't work when calling 800 numbers.

That does block your number from showing up on consumer caller id units.It does NOT block your number from being shown for the 800 number companies that have the equipment to see it.Ive been told this more than once,the last time verified by a sprint represenative.As for what someone said about they cant ever tell your number...havent you ever got a credit card that said activate your new card,but call only from your home phone?

Has anyone called yet?,,,i'm wondering what the process of the call would be,,lemme know,,,ty

*67 simply avoids cheap Caller ID equipment. It does not stop ANI (Automatic Number Identification), which all 800 numbers have. You cannot block it.
