Can I unmask my private number?
To return a private callers call, dial *69. This feature will dial the last incoming private number, revealing the unmasked number if caller ID was blocked. This works whether you answered the call or not. Simple and effective!
Ugh, I hate getting calls from private numbers. It’s so unsettling, isn’t it? Like, who is this mysterious person? Are they selling something? Or worse?
Anyway, I think I figured out a way to find out who’s been calling. I read somewhere – maybe it was a random website, I can’t even remember – that you can dial *69 after a private number calls. Supposedly, that dials the number back. It’ll reveal their number, even if they blocked their caller ID. Crazy, right?
I tried it once – some guy called, completely anonymous – and honestly, I was kind of scared to hit *69. Felt like something out of a movie! But I did it, and… it worked! It actually called the guy back. It wasn’t a serial killer or anything, thankfully. Just some guy from a debt collection agency, which, while annoying, was way less scary than I’d imagined.
So yeah, give 69 a shot if you’re curious. But be warned – there’s always a chance you’ll get a creepy voicemail or something. Maybe it’s better to just let some calls go to voicemail. I mean, is knowing that* important? Sometimes I wonder. ????♀️
