Since you may need to try a few different codes, it’s best to test using a friend’s number instead of the number you actually want to call. Your whole number should be in the [code][number] format, which will look something like this: *67(123)456-7890
While using Google Voice won’t prevent the person you’re calling from seeing your Google Voice number, they won’t be able to see your phone’s actual number even if they have unmasking services or apps installed. Using Google Voice is a good way to get through to a person who screens blocked numbers without having to reveal your actual number.
