Samsung – the name is well known. But what really belongs to the electronics group, we will show you in this one Video:

Whether iPhone or Android, if you want to suppress your phone number once or for special calls, just type the short one prefix #31# before the number to call. This usually also works with landline devices, which were used significantly more often in the last year.
