Dialer requires your device's Caller ID settings to allow the Caller ID you selected in Dialer to be transmitted when establishing the call.
If your number is configured as private or blocked, Dialer will prompt you to change this setting.
On most phones, you can update this setting by following the steps below.
However, settings differ between Android devices and mobile carriers.
If you cannot locate your Caller ID settings using these steps, please contact your mobile carrier for assistance.
