Galaxy Fold: Suppress number - easily explained

If you want to call someone without them knowing you are calling them, the Galaxy Fold lets you suppress your number. With this feature, you have the choice to suppress the number permanently or just once. The easiest way is to use a prefix.

How is the number suppressed on the Galaxy Fold?

If you have inserted a SIM card into Samsung's Galaxy Fold, you can receive calls and also call other contacts. Usually, your number will be displayed to the contact when you call them. If the person has already stored your number, the corresponding name will be shown on the display. If you do not want your number to be displayed, then you have the option to suppress it. The procedure depends on the Android version you are using.

1. First open the phone app on your Android device.
2. There is an icon with three vertical dots in the upper right corner. Tap on it to open more options.
3. Select "Settings" among the entries.
4. In the next steps, tap "Additional services" and then "Show own phone number".
5. Now a menu pops up. Activate the option "Hide number". After that, your number will be suppressed when you receive a call. Um die Option zu deaktivieren, folgen Sie den gleichen Schritten und aktivieren Sie abschließend „Nummer anzeigen“.
