   This feature prevents your name and/or number from being shown on someone's Caller ID display.

   Per-call Blocking is a standard feature on all lines and is accomplished by entering a simple code which prevents your number from being displayed on an individual call basis.

   Per-line Blocking prevents all calls placed from your number from being displayed.

.
How to use Calling Name and/or Number Blocking Per-call:
.
Press   (On a rotary phone, dial 1167)
Listen for three beeps, then dial tone.
Dial the number you're calling as usual.  The person you've called will not be able to see your name and/or number displayed on his or her telephone display screen.  Instead, a "P" or "PRIVATE" will be displayed.
