This Vertical Service Code, *82, enables calling line identification regardless of subscriber preference, dialed to unblock withheld numbers (private callers) in the U.S. on a per-call basis.
If Caller ID is subscribed to or enabled on the line receiving the call, the unblocked phone number and registered name is displayed – unable to determine that the caller subscribes to outgoing callerID blocking or that *82 has been dialed to temporarily override that subscription.
Some mobile devices may alternatively offer or require a menu selection to override Caller ID blocking per call.
Then establish the connection as usual by dialing 1, the area code, and the phone number to complete the call.
Notice is given to anonymous callers with an intervening recorded message from the phone company that rejected anonymous call may be completed when Caller ID is enabled and valid.
