How to Hide Number on Glo

By default, when you call a mobile number, the call recipient will automatically see your number on their screen as the incoming call. This will identify you as the caller, and the receiver can decide whether they want to speak with you at the moment or not.

However, there are instances where the caller does not want the receiver to know who was calling. Thus, hiding their number will make that possible, but it will also not allow the receiver to record the incoming call number on their phone.

There are two major ways to hide your Glo number. They include:

  • Through USSD Code,
  • Phone Setting method

How to Hide your Glo Number using the USSD Code

For Glo subscribers, hiding one’s caller ID is as simple as dialing the code #31# before the numbers you plan to call. For instance, if your call recipient’s ID is 0902898989, you can dial #31#0902898989 on your phone to hide your number from the call recipient.

Note: this is a per-call method, meaning that you will have to dial the #31# prefix anytime you need to hide your ID from your call recipient.

If you choose to hide your number from all your call recipients, you can also use the #31# to do so.

  • Simply dial #31#  and send.
  • You will receive a pop-up notification alerting you that you have successfully disabled your caller ID.
  • To revert your action and make your cal ID visible again, dial *31# and send. You will receive notification that your call ID has been enabled
