Yes, Star 67 (or *67) still works for blocking caller ID on outgoing calls. This feature, known as vertical service code, is available on both landlines and mobile phones. When you dial *67 before the number you're calling, your number will appear as "Private" or "Unknown" on the recipient's caller ID.
However, please note the following:
- *67 does not work for toll-free numbers (1-800, 1-888), emergency services (911), or when the receiving party uses Anonymous Call Rejection (ACR) services.
- The effectiveness of *67 may vary depending on your location and your service provider. Some carriers may require a fee for this service, while others may not support it at all.
- Using *67 does not make your call completely anonymous. The phone company and law enforcement agencies can still access call records if necessary.
