Guys,


I'd the same issue, All incoming calls shows "Unknown" while contact already in my contact list/app and finally after spent few hours (3-4hr) i came to know that my CLIP (Caller line Identification Presentation) was disable then i called to my customer Care and they asked to send short message to xyz # and it's is solved now.


Btw in Prepaid, it is default ON but for Postpaid you have to send a request to your xyz operator.

Hi Hedland,


Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.


You may want to first check your caller ID settings, as mentioned in this article:


iPhone: Understanding phone features

Caller ID


iPhone (GSM networks)

Turn on or off in Settings > Phone


iPhone (CDMA networks)

Contact your carrier for information on using Caller ID

If your settings are correct, try the troubleshooting steps in our iPhone Assistant:

All the best,
