No Caller ID/Unknown number

I received a call from a number that came up No Caller ID (blocked)? When that call shows up in my call log, does it say No Caller ID or Unknown? Thanks in advance for any response.

Will depend on how your carrier implements caller id. Mine usually comes up Unavailable, Not Available, Out of Area, Private Caller, or just nothing...that is using Verizon so will vary with the carrier you use.

My caller log says "No Caller ID" in large type with "Unknown" in smaller type under the large row. I'm with AT&T in the U.S.

You can receive those kind of callers such as Out of Area, Blocked, Private etc. Those people do not wish to show their caller id to anyone who they call.

You can also turn on this feature as well Settings>Phone>Show My Caller ID>OFF

Or dail *67 before phone number as well.

Thanks for the responses. My carrier is AT&T. I'm aware of the different lingo, blocked, no caller id, out of area, etc. I am just wondering if it possible for the same call to show up differently..meaning..when it rang it said No Caller ID, but later on checking the call log, it said unknown. I know it seems like a weird inquiry. But, I received a call from someone that said No Caller ID. I had a missed call today and in my call log it said unknown curious if it could be the same person since I rarely get these kind of calls.

Actually that is not a weird inquiry...I have had that happen on my land-line phone...same number come up with different "messages" none of which identified the caller. But the numbers were the same. End result is the same with me, I get a little snotty about it, if a caller won't tell me who is calling, they obviously don't want to talk to me very badly.
