    Hi Vijay,

     

    It sounds like you can see the option to turn on Caller ID but it is grayed out and you cannot toggle it. You may need to reach out to your about it according to the following article:

     

     From: Call forwarding, call waiting, and other call features on iPhone

    Caller IDTurn on or off in
       Settings > Phone.
    Contact your carrier for information on using Caller ID.

     

    Just to cover all the bases you can try troubleshooting the software to see if this is an issue w can resolve. Start by quitting the Phone and the Settings apps:

    1. Press the Home button two times quickly. You'll see small previews of your recently used apps.
    2. Swipe left to find the app you want to close.
    3. Swipe up on the app's preview to close it.

     
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:

    If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works.

    If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
