Hide your number by dialing a prefix on your Nokia X
Another option for hide your number on Nokia X, sometimes unrecognized, is to use a prefix before each number called. With this prefix, your operator will know that he must hide your number from your smartphone.

This operation is normally free and included as a basic service, but we invite you to check with your operator to be sure.
