Hi, 

Via Phone settings -> supplementary services -> Show your call ID -  I have always had "Never" selected. Sometime in the last month or so, it has stopped working. By that I mean my number is now showing to whomever I call.  If I change my Sim back to an old LG phone my number is hidden again.  This issue is also affecting all the Samsung users in my household (Samsung M62 + Samsung A50). We use the same network provider - ALDI.  

My software is up to date. I have reset the network settings and done a soft reset also. As it is an issue for other household Samsung phones but not the LG phone, is there a Samsung/ALDI bug or software issue?

Please help ASAP

Hey @kkristen

I am really sorry to hear that you’ve been experiencing issues with your phone number showing up on calls. I suggest sending an error report within 2-3 minutes of the issue occurring for this to be investigated by our research and development team. Error reports assist with identifying any deviations in your device performance. Once analysed, our team will get back to you with a response to advise further steps.

To send an error report:
Samsung Members app > Support > Error reports > select issue category > Describe issue and frequency > Tick ‘Send system log data’ > ‘Send’ in top right.

 

Kind Regards,

The only way around this I have found a I had the same problem as you have to change your settings to 3G when you want to make a phone call to hide your number. it's something to do with Aldi I think and being on vol lte 4G.

Thank you so much! I have changed my settings to 3G only and my number is private once more. I appreciate your help.

I should add that some phones have the ability to turn off the 4G lte but it's not on Samsung phones
