How to make my mobile number private?

Primary reasons for making your mobile number private are for anonymity. With all the telemarketing phishing and scams in Australia, people are becoming more aware and in the case they want to call back without revealing too much, they require an option to be anonymous.

To call anonymously from your mobile, dial the following MMI code before entering the mobile number.

#31#

When dialing it should look like this:

#31#0400123456

We recommend testing first on the Mr Telco dial-back service. The service will read back if your number is anonymous. If your number isn't private, it will read back the digits.

This is the safest way to double check your mobile number is on private before dialing the number you want to call back.

Test if your mobile number is private, call.
