Blocking Outgoing Calls:

Set your iPhone up with Screen Time, and can do this.

  1. Go Here: Set Up Screen Time for yourself on iPhone - Apple Support
  2. Scroll To: Set communication limits
  3. As it Reads: "In Screen Time, you can either allow or block communication—including incoming and outgoing phone calls"

Are you referring to hiding your phone number (Caller ID) when you call out? If YES, then you can open Settings ➡️ Phone ➡️ Show my Caller ID: Set this to OFF. This will block your phone number from being seen by the call recepient.

If you do not have the above setting on your iPhone then contact your carrier and they should be able to provide information on how to dial while blocking your Caller ID.
