This came up a while back, but it was only recently that my son Alan gave me the clue. When calling from your Verizon cell phone, if you want anonymity (the legend 'private number' will appear in the recipients cell phone screen), all you have to do is press pound (#) 67, then the number (i.e., # 67 809 xxx-xxxx).

Thanks for the tip.
Have no idea when I might use it, but could be handy to know.

Centennial has the service *67 to block the number and it?s free for post pay and pre paid customers.

Verizon is the same *67 but not sure if the charge extra
