Yes, you can use this technique on an iPhone. Simply open the phone app, dial in *67, and dial out as you normally would.
In most cases, yes. If you’re in the U.S., you can dial *57 after receiving a private call to trace the number. However, you should only use this option if you’re getting threatening or harassing calls from a private number. After tracing the call, you will need to contact your local law enforcement agency, and they can get the identifying information from the trace from your phone service provider. Your service provider won’t give you that information directly.
There are a couple possible ways to do this. If you’re on a landline, try dialing *69 to return the call. On a cell phone, use #69. This will only work with some providers, and you have to do it before anyone else calls you. In some cases, you may also be able to see the number on your phone service provider call logs when you sign into your account online.

Do you want to make a phone call but keep your own phone number private? If you're using an iPhone or Android, you can make a quick settings change to keep your phone number hidden . And if you have a landline, you'll just need a blocking code—we'll even help you find yours! This wikiHow article guide will walk you through making private phone calls from your mobile phone or landline.
If you want to make a call while keeping your number private, there are a few different methods you can try. One of the easiest is to enter a blocking code before dialing the number you want to call. Start by opening your phone app, then punching in the code. If you’re in the U.S., the most common blocking code is *67. Another common blocking code is #31#, which works for Canada and several European countries as well as in India, Israel, and South Africa. It’s also the code you’ll need to use in the U.S. if you have phone service from AT&T. If you’re not sure which code is correct for you, do a search for blocking codes in your area or contact your phone carrier for more information. Once you’ve put in the right code for your region and service provider, dial the number you want to call as you usually would. The blocking code should hide your caller ID from the person receiving the call. However, be aware that 911 and 800 numbers will still be able to see your number. You can also mask your number using settings on your phone. If you’re using an iPhone, open Settings, then select Phone. Next, tap Show My Caller ID and toggle this option off. If you have an Android phone, open the phone app, then tap the menu button in the top right corner of the screen and select Settings from the dropdown menu. From there, choose Calls, then Additional Settings. Tap Caller ID and select Hide Number. Keep in mind that not all carriers offer the option to hide your number, so you may not see these settings on your phone. For tips on how to call privately using the phone settings on an iPhone or Android, read on!
