For example, *82-Area Code-555-5555, SEND.


Selective Blocking

This option is automatically added to your service unless you select Complete Blocking. Selective Blocking allows Caller ID subscribers to see your mobile number unless you block it by including *67 before the phone number when you place a call. For example, *67-Area Code-555-5555, SEND.
