Home phone number not blocked after all..?

Question

Our home phone number is private, but when I have called friends out of state, they answer knowing that it is me. They tell me that they can see my phone number listed on their caller id. Is it that the "private" status of my phone number is only private within my home state? What can the phone company do or what can I do, so that my home phone number shows up on all caller id's as a private number?

Answer 1

I have a Friend that calls someone that has the same thing happen to him. he asked the person they said the have VoiP. and cable phone service will do this too.
