Change my caller ID appearance to area code only

[xdollface8]

I have received a few phone calls within the past couple years where my called ID shows only "716" rather than the full number "716-xxx-xxxx". These calls were from mostly cell phones.

Is there away I can toggle this on... On my phone? Droid Turbo 1.

I don't need it all the time but it would be helpful when making working calls when on the road so that they don't have my personal cell # and nobody ever answers " unknown" so *67 isnt the key.

I also am not really interested in spoofing my number with a fake one or creating a Google voice (or similar account) and then having two phone #'s to worry about.

I know its a long shot asking but this is a large Community and someone may know.

I'd also take suggestions on a different thread to post this on!

Thanks,
L

There has to be away of others do it, I of course just cannot figure out how.

I never have heard or seen a way to do this. It is either show your number --- or block it.

Maybe this "trick" is done by the phone. In other words: Now you have another phone, so now this trick doesn't work.

> *67

Callers may also dial *31# before the number they wish to call.

Just here to say I'm a 716er too!
