Caller ID installed on your smartphone helps you hide your phone number when calling other subscribers. In an interview with the agency, “hit the primer”said Valery Stepanov, Head of the Information Security Competence Center of the T1 Group.
However, the expert noted that such a service provided by Russian mobile operators does not always work and does not fully guarantee the hiding of the number. In addition, some mobile applications with an anti-determinant function cannot boast of a 100% result.
“It is not possible to hide your number globally, as the caller’s data, or rather the SIM card, is transmitted to the IMSI main telephone exchange. Therefore, even if you manage to hide your number while calling another person, the output (call details) will still show who is calling, ”explained Stepanov.
He stated that there is little point in hiding his number in order not to enter the spam database, because for them the data is collected from many sources. A good solution to protect your privacy is to buy another SIM card and separate all your calls into personal and business calls.
