Oppo: Show or Hide Your Caller ID for Calls

If your outgoing calls suddenly show up as 'Unknown caller' instead of your real number, your caller ID has been switched off somewhere in the carrier call settings. On Oppo phones this setting sometimes resets after a system update or a SIM swap, so people you call no longer see who is calling. It only affects how your number appears to others on outbound calls and has no effect on incoming calls.

Show or Hide Caller ID for Outgoing Calls auf Oppo

On Oppo phones running ColorOS, caller ID display is not managed in the general call settings but inside the carrier call settings for each SIM.

This is why the option can seem to disappear after a firmware update, a SIM change, or a factory reset. Once reset, the phone falls back to the carrier default, which is usually to show your number.

To check or change the setting, go to Tap on PhoneOpen the MenuTap on SettingsTap on Calling accountsTap on Carrier call settingsTap on Additional settingsChoose a SIM card (Dual SIM)Tap on My NumberChoose Hide/Show Number.

On dual SIM devices, each SIM has its own independent caller ID setting, so you need to repeat the steps for the second card if you use both for outgoing calls.

Hiding your number only changes what the recipient sees on their screen. It does not block their ability to call you back, and some networks or apps may still display a name if you are already saved in their contacts.

If a call still shows your number after you set it to hidden, the change may not have reached the network yet, or your carrier has to enable CLIR support on their side first.

Frequently asked questions

No. Emergency numbers always receive your real number regardless of the Hide Number setting, since this is required by network regulations.
