Random Number Displaying to People when i call them

I use an iPhone 12 Pro Max iOS version 16.5. For a few days, when I call anyone from my contact list, they are displayed a random number instead of mine. My E-Sim is not activated and I use only one number in my phone. This is a very strange phenomenon.

Contact your Carrier:

Google the number, and find out what it pertains to. You need an eSIM card or SIM card to get this to work. Regardless of the number shown, you need Contact your Carrier, asking them why this is occurring.
