How to Change the Number That Shows on Caller ID
1. Visit an online service to change your caller ID number. Try bluffmycall.com or telespoof.com. Both these websites offer a free option for switching your caller ID.
2. Click the free option on either website. On bluffmycall.com, click the 'Use It Now Free!' button. On telespoof.com, click the 'Free Call!' button.
3. Fill out the fields with the appropriate information. You will be asked to enter your real phone number, the recipient's phone number and the phone number you want to appear when you call.
4. Click the button to make the call. On bluffmycall.com, this is a 'Make Call' button. On telespooof.com, it will be a 'Try TeleSpoof' button. Some services may then give you a phone number to call to complete the process. Other services may call your phone and then redirect you to call the recipient.
5. Avoid revealing your identity. Once the recipient is aware of your deceptive tactics, he will undoubtedly try to get you back when you least expect it. Beware.
