Note: Calls to 800 numbers and 911 won't use Caller ID Blocking.

Restrict your Caller ID information
To permanently restrict your caller ID information, please contact Customer Service via Chat or dial *2 from your handset. There is no charge to restrict this information. Once you restrict your caller ID information, you can have your information appear on a call-by-call basis. Just add *68 or *82 before you dial a number, and your information will display, but for that call only.
Note: This restriction may take up to 72 hours to take effect, and it does not guarantee your calling name will be removed from all industry databases that provide calling and name information as a service. We can only control the information that is directly associated with Sprint.
