NOTHING will be shown, if you can disable your number before making the call. Most systems, land lines, cell phones can do this.

For example, I use 02 in the UK, its just a matter of going into the phone settings to switch off "Show my number" then it dont matter where I am in the world, the number will not be shown.

If your using a landline, then ask the owner how to switch it off *67 ?
