Samsung: Show or Hide Your Caller ID

Your number pops up on the other person's screen even though you never turned that on, or it stays hidden when you need it visible for work calls. This behavior comes from a network-level default that Samsung phones inherit unless you change it in the phone app. The setting sits separate from Do Not Disturb or blocking and gets missed easily.

Show or Hide Caller ID on Outgoing Calls auf Samsung

Caller ID visibility on Samsung phones follows the network default unless you override it manually. That default comes from your carrier, not from Samsung, which is why the behavior can differ between two phones on the same One UI version.

Overriding it matters in a few common situations: hiding your number for private calls, or forcing it to show when a network default hides it and clients need to recognize your business line.

To change it, open PhoneMenuSettingsSupplementary servicesShow your caller ID. Three options appear: Network default, Never and Always.

Network default leaves the decision to your carrier and is the safest choice if you are unsure how your provider handles it. Never hides your number on every outgoing call, which some carriers block for emergency or verified business lines. Always forces your number to display, useful if a carrier default hides it without asking.

If the option is grayed out or missing entirely, the setting is controlled server-side by your carrier and cannot be changed on the device. In that case, contact your provider directly to adjust caller ID at the network level.

Frequently asked questions

Some carriers lock this setting on the network side. When that happens, SettingsSupplementary services shows the option but you cannot tap it, and you need to request the change through your provider.
