Hiding my caller ID on Android

Need to call a few businesses without them saving my number. Is there a setting to make my number private on every call, or do I need a code before dialing?

a lot of people auto-reject private numbers now, so hiding it can mean nobody picks up. *67 also won't hide it from toll free or emergency numbers.

It's in the Phone app settings but buried. On Samsung it's Settings > Supplementary services > Show your caller ID > Hide number. On Pixel it's Settings > Calls > Additional settings > Caller ID. For a single call it's quicker to dial a prefix first, *67 in the US, 141 in the UK. Some carriers grey the setting out, if so they'll have to turn it on from their side.
