Q: My iphone 5s won't let me turn on my caller id

My caller id switches itself off automatically and when I go into settings it will not allow me to switch it back on.

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.4

    My guess is you have a CDMA cellular carrier.

    Hi,  try this method, it works for me on an iphone4 & 4S (iOS7)

     

     

    make sure you have all apps closed before next steps.

     

     

    -Go to Settings, Phone, Show My Caller ID. (if button is Greyed Out)

    -Pull down Control Centre & Turn On Airplane Mode & return to Show My Caller ID screen.

    -Now slide your screen from right to left taking you to another screen, then slide back to your Show My Caller ID screen.

    -Now You Can turn ON or OFF your Caller ID Button. Choose ON or OFF.

    -Lastly slide down you Control Centre again and Turn OFF your Airplane Mode.

     

     

    Thats it Job done, now it should be working.

     

     

    Please note, it will now stay in the mode that you have chosen(ON or OFF) even if you respring or reboot your phone. But if you return back to

    Show My Caller ID screen, then you SIM Provider will automatically Disable your Caller ID screen BUTTON once again. So just repeat the steps

    above and your be fine.

     

     

     

     

    Hope this helps.
