iphone XS why do i appear as private number rather than my phone number?
i am a boost mobile customer with a new iphone xs. when i call my friends, my number shows as private ID. i have spoken to boost mobile customer service multiple times, they either hang up on me or transfer me to apple and then apple says they can't help me because i don't have a service contract associated with my IMEI. i have spent soooooo many hours on this, why is this so hard? why can't i just get my phone number to show up when i call people? why are phone companies and corporations allowed to control this?
