I bought a mobile phone many years ago and got my mobile number. I asked to hide my caller ID at the time.
I used the phone only for emergencies "On the Go" subscription to call a taxi for example while I am on the train so it would wait when I arrive at my destination.
Now I want my caller ID to be visible. I tried to make changes from the phone settings but it didn't work because when I call my landline number, I don't see my number and shows "Private Caller".
Then I had a chat with the mobile company, and they told me to try
* <31> # <phone number to call> <phone icon>
Tried that and no joy.
Also tried * <31> * <phone number to call> <phone icon> but no luck
I think the original request to hide caller ID is burnt into the SIM and nothing can help.
I don't mind changing the mobile number if this is the only solution, but I hope I won't need to go to this extreme.
Any ideas what else I can try?
