"Hidden Number" vs "Unknown Caller": What's the Difference?

Hidden Number (Private Number)

A hidden number is someone who intentionally chose to hide their phone number when calling you. This is done using a special code like *31# before dialing, or privacy settings on their phone device. Ministry of Communications Guidelines

Your phone will display "Hidden Number," "Private Call," or "No Number" for such calls.

Privacy protection (calling someone unfamiliar)
Preventing unwanted calls (sales, telemarketing)
Pleasant surprise for friend/family
Malicious purposes – harassment, fraud, or stalking Israel Police Harassment Report
