iPhone 11 Pro Max dual sim hide caller ID

Is it possible to hide your caller ID for either SIM or eSIM when using dual SIM?


I've found a couple of solutions online on how to hide your caller ID via Settings > Phone > Show my caller ID and switch if off but unfortunately for me the option is not showing.


Not sure if it's because I'm using a SIM and eSIM but the option not showing prevents me of selecting a SIM to call anonymous.


Who has an idea what to do?

FWIW: Settings > Phone > Show my caller ID


DOES appear and function on my own SIM + eSIM Xs


HOWEVER, it only appears and controls the eSIM line.


When I disable the eSIM line, the option disappears altogether; just like you’re seeing.


Perhaps it’s tied to the carrier settings unique to each SIM ???

So I've just changed my language from Dutch to English on my phone and it did show the "Show my caller ID" option. After that I changed the language back to Dutch and noticed that the translation of Show my caller ID is kinda weird and therefor I did not expect the function to be under that certain button.


Thanks for the reply! It made me look into this again and solved my problem.
