Check your phone settings or contact your service provider to confirm if your caller ID is blocked. When making calls, recipients may see 'Unknown' or 'Blocked Number' instead of your information. Dial *67 before the number you're calling to hide your caller ID temporarily. If unsure, use a different phone to call your own number and see if your caller information appears.
