Huawei: suppress phone number - how it works

It is no surprise that you can suppress your phone number with a Huawei smartphone. However, the Huawei offers a special option in addition to the conventional number suppression.

Suppress the number on the Huawei - so it works

With the common method of protecting privacy, you always suppress your own phone number. No matter who you call, your phone number is never shown.

• To suppress the transfer of the number on a Huawei, first go to the menu button. You will see the symbol with the three dots in the top right corner of the screen.
• Under "Settings" go to "Call" and then to "Additional Settings".
• Then select the "Show my phone number" option. Activate the "Hide number" option so that the number is no longer displayed in the future.
• Afterwards, your phone number will not be shown for any of your calls with the Huawei.
• Of course you are free to deactivate the option at any time.

Suppress phone number individually - with the Huawei it works

In addition to the traditional method of hiding the number, Huawei offers you another option.

• You can also use a GSM code to suppress your number only on selected calls.
• Before dialing the corresponding number, first enter the GSM code # 31 #. Then type in the phone number.
• The called party will only see the message "Unknown caller" on his display. If you do not enter a GSM code for the subsequent call, your phone number will be displayed again.
