Caller ID and Call Waiting on iPhone SE 2020

Neither Caller ID or Call Waiting show up in Settings/Phone. I checked with my carrier who said they support both. What's up?

Visible is an MVNO that uses Verizon's network. Verizon is a CDMA carrier. Those options can not be controlled from the phone and will not be available in settings on a CDMA network.


Don't waste your time calling Apple. There is nothing they can do about it. This is a carrier issue. If you want to call it an issue...

That is simply not compatible with the network they are using.

Thanks to both you and Sterling r. I contacted my carrier, Visible, prior to posting here. I was told they support both features and directed me to settings/phone on my phone to find the settings for caller id and call waiting so I could toggle them on. When I assured them those settings were not there they were surprised and could offer no further help. I guess I'll give Apple Support a call and see if they have any ideas. Thanks again.

Hello Rain_Country,


It sounds like you have some questions about Caller ID and Call waiting. Call waiting is a feature that has to be activated by the carrier. Once activated a settings will appear. As for Caller ID any call will show your contact information or the number unless it is a blocked number. You can if you'd prefer block all unknown callers so only contacts can reach you.
