Skype is a broadband-based Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, service that enables you to communicate with millions of people all over the world using your computer or your cell phone. If you’re using Skype at your small business, circumstances might present themselves in which you want to conceal your identity from contacts you’re calling. Deactivate the Caller ID function in Skype to block your number from displaying on incoming calls.
Open your Web browser and navigate to the Skype website.
Log in using the username and password for the account on which you would like to block your number.
Click the “Call Phones” tab and select “Caller ID Settings” from the menu that appears.
Click “Deactivate Caller ID” to block your number from displaying when you make a Skype call.
- If you’re using a Skype Connect account and want to block the number on an SIP profile, load Skype Connect and click the profile you would like to change. Click the row labeled "Caller ID" and choose the “Disable Caller ID” button below the number you would like to block.
