unlisted number
Directory-excluded phone line
An unlisted number is a telephone number deliberately kept out of public directories.
The phone company won't give it out, and it won't appear in the phone book or directory assistance.
People choose unlisted numbers to avoid telemarketers, stalkers, or unwanted contact: After the divorce, she got an unlisted number.
