Unknown callers show as United States

I live in Canada. Unknown calls from within Canada show as United States. My setting already is set for Canada. Is there a fix for this?

Hi there Kdel1957,


Thanks for the post. If I understand correctly, you're seeing that unknown calls from Canada show as originating from the United States. Is that right?


For clarification, does this happen with every unknown call you receive?


Do you ever see similar behavior with people in your contacts list as well?


As a start, try updating your device and your carrier settings:

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Update your carrier settings on your iPhone or iPad


If that doesn't help, double-check Settings > General > Language & Region to make sure this is set correctly.


If the issue persists, use this to Contact Apple Support next.


Take care.
