Every day, subscribers of various telecom operators make hundreds of thousands of calls. The phone number is displayed on the screen of the subscriber to whom the call is made. However, there are situations when the subscriber would like to remain anonymous and hide the number. There are several paid and free ways to call so that the number is not identified.
