What is a restricted phone call? Follow
A restricted phone call is a call received from someone who has taken steps to deliberately hide their phone number so that it does not appear on your caller ID.
Instead of seeing your contact’s name or even just their phone number appear on your phone’s screen, you will see “restricted,” “private,” or “unknown.” The caller might have used a code like *67 before calling your number or perhaps used their phone settings to block caller ID.
Sometimes people have valid reasons for restricting a number, like when protecting their privacy, but it can also be a trick employed by robocalls or spammers. If you;’r receiving calls from a restricted number frequently, consider blocking them or switching to Hushed for a private, secure online number.
