I have an iPhone 8 . When I go on caller ID I can’t turn on or off as it shows the spinning wheel .

I had this problem too and I tried everything and nothing worked. I “chatted” online to an Apple person who very obligingly worked with me to troubleshoot a solution. We again tried everything: resets, airplane mode etc etc. then, he suggested I try another sim in the phone to see if it would work. I used my partner’s sim and it worked. The wheel stopped spinning and the toggle switch for turning in my Caller ID worked. Replacing the original SIM card showed the spinning wheel. The online Apple person concluded that the problem was the sim - or putting it another way- it was something my carrier needed to fix. So I immediately went to the carrier’s retail store at the local shopping centre. The customer assistant said it was just a matter of going into their app (which I had on my phone) and changing it there. Bingo! I now have my Caller ID toggle switch back in Settings on my phone and it is working perfectly.
I switched off everything - mobile, wifi, bluetooth - and then it worked. No idea why.
Try turning off Bluetooth and also mobile data in mobile. After trying everything else, this worked for me 👍
Hi. Turn off your wi fi. Then the switch should toggle on.
I had the issue once again, turned airplane mode off and on, did the same with mobile data, then tried call ID again.
Was just a matter of fiddling with everything.
Phew, is all I can say!
It worked! I had to wait for a while after turning it on aeroplane mode. But it eventually worked, thankfully before I threw my phone at the wall. Thank you :)
I have an IPhone 8 Plus had same problem—Have Boost carrier and they charge extra for Caller ID to work😒
Turn off your WiFi to change it
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!
did it work? If not then your service provider will have a code to key into your phone such as #51* and then dial. Try googling it or contact them.
Have you contacted your service provider. See my earlier post about a code you can use to override the problem.
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
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.
Hi it’s been loading for hours .
I have this same problem but need to hide my ID to work from home. Any thoughts on how to fix it?
I have the same issue also on iPhone 8. Have you had any luck with it so far?
