Another option to hide your number on Infinix, sometimes not well known, is to use a prefix before each number called.
With this prefix, your operator will know that they must hide your number from your call. This is very handy especially if you only want to hide specific numbers only a few times on your Infinix. You just have to dial the prefix specified by your operator to do so. Then just type the usual number of your recipient to hide your number on Infinix. This operation is normally free and included as a basic service, but we strongly invite you to check with your operator to be sure they are not charging you to use it.
With this method, you can choose at any time to mask your number on your Infinix. Note that you can also save some of your contacts on your Infinix with this prefix to hide calls to these numbers.
This is useful when you want to hide certain numbers from your Infinix.

You will then have a wide choice of applications, such as ‘Hidden Call’ or ‘Hide Phone Number Caller ID’ which will allow you to hide your number from your Infinix. We recommend that you read user reviews and look at each application’s rating before uploading one to your Infinix. You can also perform tests once the application is properly downloaded to see if your Infinix masks your number well.
