Many Countries allow their customers to hide their phone no from recipients they want to call. Many Countries have their codes, but the universal code that works in many countries is #31# followed by the persons number. For example, if you want to call 08056565555. You will dial #31#08056565555 and that's it. 

ii. Use your device settings

The second method to use is adjusting the settings on your phone. Most phones have this facility.
For Android - Go to settings > tap call > tap additional settings >tap caller ID and then tap hide number and that's it.

For Windows - Go to the phone settings > tap the box under 'show my caller ID to' > tap 'no one' or 'my contacts'. 
Note that if you tap my contacts, your number will be visible to numbers that are not stored in your contacts, if you dont want this tap 'no one'.

For Iphone - Go to settings app > tap phone > tap show my caller ID and toggle the slider to OFF. that's it 

For Blackberry - Go to Menu key > tap options > tap general options and find the restrict my identity field, then set it to always. that's it you are done
