The quick answer is yes, it does still work&#8230; but it comes with some major limitations you need to be aware of. These limitations include the fact that *67 only works on a single number, doesn\u2019t work for emergency services or toll-free numbers, and may not work if the recipient has blocked your number or his\/her phone\u2019s system can override the *67 code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, we&#8217;ll break down exactly what *67 is, how to use it, its critical limitations, and most importantly, what to do when you need to hide your number for a text message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anonsms.com\/blog\/star-67-still-works-but-avoid-using-it-wrong\/#What_Is_Star_67\" >What Is Star 67?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anonsms.com\/blog\/star-67-still-works-but-avoid-using-it-wrong\/#How_Does_Star_67_Work\" >How Does Star 67 Work?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anonsms.com\/blog\/star-67-still-works-but-avoid-using-it-wrong\/#How_to_Hide_a_Number_When_Texting\" >How to Hide a Number When Texting?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anonsms.com\/blog\/star-67-still-works-but-avoid-using-it-wrong\/#Quick_Comparison_67_vs_Anonsms\" >Quick Comparison: *67 vs. Anonsms<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anonsms.com\/blog\/star-67-still-works-but-avoid-using-it-wrong\/#FAQs\" >FAQs<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anonsms.com\/blog\/star-67-still-works-but-avoid-using-it-wrong\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Star_67\"><\/span>What Is Star 67?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>*67 is a vertical service code that you can use to hide your phone number temporarily for a single call. This means that your caller ID (phone number) will not be displayed when making the call. Instead, the person you are calling will see \u2018Blocked\u2019, \u2018Unknown\u2019, \u2018Private\u2019, or \u2018Restricted\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does star 67 do? When you dial *67 before a phone number, it blocks your number for that specific call. Using *67 is usually free, but you have to repeat this process every time you want to make a call and you wish to keep your identity unknown. This feature works on most landlines and cell phones (including iPhones and Android devices).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_Star_67_Work\"><\/span>How Does Star 67 Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, let\u2019s take you through the step-by-step process of using *67.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open your phone dialer app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dial *67 on the app\u2019s keypad, then add the number of the person you wish to call. E.g., *67 (858) 651-5050.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"599\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.anonsms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-24-599x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"dial *67 before the number\" class=\"wp-image-2053\" style=\"width:500px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.anonsms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-24-599x1024.jpeg 599w, https:\/\/www.anonsms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-24-176x300.jpeg 176w, https:\/\/www.anonsms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-24-768x1313.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.anonsms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-24-899x1536.jpeg 899w, https:\/\/www.anonsms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-24-7x12.jpeg 7w, https:\/\/www.anonsms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-24.jpeg 936w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Call the number.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do the above correctly, the person you called will not see your phone number or caller ID on their screen, instead they will see, &#8220;Private Number&#8221;, \u201cBlocked\u201d, or \u201cUnknown Number\u201d. Since *67 is a network feature, it works on all phones (iPhones, Androids, &amp; landlines).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are a few situations when *67 fails or is ineffective. These include;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Star 67 doesn&#8217;t work for toll-free or emergency numbers like 911.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It can only hide your number for one call. A single action doesn\u2019t affect all other outgoing calls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It can be defeated by anonymous call-blocking features.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your call and identity can still be traced by carriers or law enforcement, so it doesn\u2019t make you anonymous.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not all mobile carriers support *67. This happens mostly for international calls but can sometimes be the same for calls within the same country.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It is completely ineffective for SMS\/text messages.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Hide_a_Number_When_Texting\"><\/span>How to Hide a Number When Texting?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know that *67 hides or blocks your number when making calls, the next question becomes, does *67 block your number from appearing when you send text messages? No, it doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiding your number when texting is where *67 falls short and where most people get stuck. Standard texting is designed to always show your number whenever you text someone, so you need a different tool to hide it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest solution to achieving this is to use an anonymous texting service. This service allows you to send text messages without revealing your real phone number. There are various anonymous texting services, but the simplest and most effective one is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anonsms.com\">Anonsms<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the features that make it stand out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>No Apps, No Hassle<\/strong>: You don&#8217;t need to download anything.
