My calls out show my mobile number as private-unintentionally.

parrori1 · Apr 16, 2016

I've had my iPhone 6s for a week and just found out that when I call other numbers, MY mobile number show up to them as Privatr.

Many of us will not answer a phone that says "private". Therefore calls I make are being rejected sometimes.

I cannot figure out how to change this. I've been through settings but do not see where undoing private is an option.

I don't see that option. Options under calls are wifi calling, calls on other devices, respond with text, blocked, and TTY

You might want to contact your cellular carrier to see what options they offer. My carrier doesn't allow WiFi calling, for example.

I have it off anyway. But I guess I will resort to calling Verizon. Oh the pain of it. Thanks.

Why is it that "Hey Siri" doesn't respond like it does for all the celebrities on tv? [emoji35]

The more you use Siri, the more relevant it's responses.

Thank you but she doesn't even acknowledge the "hey Siri " unless it's plugged in. Is that the only way she operates?

Which iPhone do you have? Using Hey Siri when not connected to a charger only works with the iPhone 6S and newer or the iPad Pro 9.7". Use Siri on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
