I appear as "Unknown" caller when calling contacts

I appear as "Unknown" caller when I call all my contacts. Show my Caller ID is on and the message doesn't appear as No Caller ID - just "Unknown". I am on a family plan with 5 other phones and mine is the only one with this issue.

Go toSettings>Phone>Show Caller ID and turn it on. If you don't see that as an option, it means your carrier is a legacy CDMA carrier and you'll either need to dial a short code or use your carrier's app. Contact them for more information.


The fact that you're on a family sharing plan is irrelevant to this issue. Each line on a family sharing plan can have its own set of features.
