Method: Making Anonymous Calls

You may come across a need to send information to another party in an untraceable fashion - perhaps sending a tip for information or communicating with a hostile party. Voice changers are available as well as services to redirect your call, but a simpler method is available.

First of all, know how to call without being identified by caller ID. I've been surprised at how many people aren't aware that you can suppress your phone number from being identified by dialing *69 before making your call. Note that some people will block unidentified calls.

Other methods you can do is spoof your caller ID and make it appear as any number you want using a SpoofCard. Not only will change the number, it can record the log and even change your voice.

An even cheaper method is call through a pre-paid phone card. The number that shows on the caller ID will not be the one you called from, and due to the huge volume of calls, it is virtually impossible to trace the call back to the original caller. You can get extra anonymity by either paying for the card with cash, or even getting a access from Coke Rewards.

When making you call, it is a good idea to disguise your voice is some way. Don't rely on muffling your voice with a handkerchief, use a tone modifier described in our February picks.
