Hide my Caller ID unless the recipient has my number in their Contacts

Hello natsully,

Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you're having issues with hiding your phone number from Caller ID. You can turn off the Show Caller ID setting to hide your phone number from Caller ID. If you are in the recipient's contact list your phone number would show when you call. This is expected behavior. To find more information about the Show Call ID setting, check out this resource: Make a call on iPhone - Apple Support

"Change your outgoing call settings

1. Go to Settings  > Phone.
2. Do any of the following:

• Turn on Show My Caller ID: (GSM) Your phone number is shown in My Number. For FaceTime calls, your phone number is displayed even if caller ID is turned off."

We hope this helps.

Cheers!

Thanks for replying, K_Faith,

What I'm actually hoping for is that I Hide my Caller ID on all outgoing calls, unless the recipient has my number in their Contacts.

Currently that is not happening. I have "Show my Caller ID" as OFF and everyone who has my number in their Contacts, including iPhone recipients, do not see my number when I call.

Is this possible?

That is not currently a feature of your iPhone, and unfortunately it would be almost impossible to implement, because your caller ID is sent by your carrier, not by your phone.
