Show my caller ID spinning wheel on iPhone

I fixed this! Months of trying all the answers / googling.

All you have to do:

Toggle ‘mobile data’ to off (settings -> mobile)

Toggle ‘show my caller ID’ (settings-> show my caller ID

Now you can toggle mobile data back on - FIXED! :)

I think where people are getting it wrong is they are toggling airplane mode on. You have to toggle “Cellular” off. It hard-pulls the phone off the network and allows you to then toggle caller ID on and off.

Turning off WiFi didn't work for me. However! Turning WiFi Calling off, and then hitting the on/off button on side of iPhone DID WORK for me. On/Off toggle for Show My Caller ID popped up when I went back to view it. Brilliant! Thanks Creed0428 !!!!!

Hi All, After trying all the above to stop the spinning wheel with no success, I found by dialing someones number (e.g. a family member's mobile), and while it is ringing, go back to the Phone I.D. in the settings. The Phone I.D. Switch seems to magically appear.

Oh no! Mine is stuck on not showing my phone number, so I can’t make phone calls to people that have their phones set to block no caller ID calls!!!! Really infuriating! x

Thank you for your quick reply! xx

Have the same problem and I discovered it is is WiFi related (one very specific WiFi network that I use), so I assume the issue is something to do with Phone over WiFi (Wi-Fi Calling).

My workaround that consistently works is either (1) Temporarily turn off WiFi or (2) Temporality put into AirPlane Mode then Show My Caller ID immediately works without hanging then re-enable

Turning off WiFi(Swipe Up from Home to control center then tap the blue WiFi button) before going to Settings>Phone>Show My Caller ID worked for me on 3 phones, two 8's & one 7. This action replaced the spinning wheel with on/off button almost instantaneously.

Well this problem is

Show my caller ID still spinning around no matter what I do

Mr Apple you need to seriously look at this issue please or send me a cheque for my Psychology bill because this is driving me mad

None of these suggestions worked for me. I have a solution that did work but it kind of stinks. You go into settings>general>reset>reset all settings. It works without having to backup and reinstall anything. You will have to redo all your other settings but you won’t lose any data or media on your phone. I bit the bullet and tried it because my setting was stuck in “off” and I was only getting the loading circle. So anytime I called family it would go directly to voicemail because they have the send unknown numbers to voicemail setting “on”. It was infuriating. Anyway. It worked for me. Good luck.

I have the same problem with my IPhone 12pro Max. I have tried turning the phone off then on, tried turning wifi off, tried turning wifi, wifi calling, Bluetooth all off, tried aeroplane mode, still I get the spinning wheel.

nothing fixes it and my phone is stuck on no caller ID which is frustrating as most people don’t answer no caller ID (I personally don’t) or they have it blocked.

very frustrated...

I don’t understand that. I use Vodafone and my friend uses O2. I just asked for an override code to put withheld number on and off as did she and we have both got a code to key in to activate/deactivate it.

I honestly don’t see why I should have to contact my service provider considering that I was able to turn it on and off previously, it just suddenly decided to not work.

id understand if I’d never touched it before, and got the phone from the provider but I have been able to change it previously no problem.

I hate having to contact companies over silly things that should just work, but I guess it’s my only remaining option.

not happy.

Turning off WIFI worked for me with my new SE 2020 - works for the spinning wheel problem with Show Caller ID, Call Waiting, and Call Forwarding. The SLIDER Button was not showing for any of theses phone features, just got the Spinning Wheel. Once the WIFI was turned off - by swiping up from bottom of screen and turning off - problem was resolved.

Have turned the WIFI back on and features are now still operational.

This looks like a problem that Apple needs to address in a sysytem update.

I am sick and tired of everyone telling me what they do

I have tried everything everyone here on this platform says

Mr Apple needs to get real and fix this continuing issue nothing works !!

Good luck Apple users getting this fixed

I looked up my code via Aldi Mobile, code as above given in technical troubleshooting, dialled it, said service not available, but went back to Caller ID in settings and toggle was back and worked 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Thanks!
