Caller id not working iphone 4s

HI guys,
when i make a call, the the caller id appears but incoming calls show no caller id. i need help

Just messaged with a friend who had the same problem. He reports: "Full delete and restore of software fixed all issues."
Full details:
I had the exact same issue. It's as if the regional setting isn't being effected. All my US numbers ended up as "4433482938", while if i did a "50" or other 2-digit codes, they would get the parens () around them. Seems to be a bug.
I resolved the issue fully by attaching the phone to iTunes, and doing a restore. It wipes out all data & settings, so make sure you have a valid backup before you do it to import contacts / texts / etc.
Once the restore was complete & settings applied, everything worked as expected.
Note: previous texts sent during the "defective" mode of the phone will not show correct caller ID name even though the number matches your address book. Only future ones will.

    caller id not working after syncing my iphone to my pc?

    Syncing with iTunes has nothing to do with this, especially when not syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer which very few Windows users seem to be inclined to do.
    Caller ID is not working in which way?

  • My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calles does not work.  It looks like it is working but doesn't.  I have tried in my Hyundai and a Dodge rent car and get the same results.  I updated the last 8.0.2.

    My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calls does not work.  It looks like it is working but doesn't.  I have tried in my Hyundai Sonata and a Dodge Dart rent car and get the same results.  I updated the last 8.0.2.  It worked the first day i had the phone, and then i updated to Ios 8.0.2 and it quit working.
    Now when i get in the car, it acts like it is connected and makes the same call it was on after syncing to bluetooth, but it really isn't on a call.  This is happening on both cars.
    Does anyone know if this is the phone and i need to take it to Apple or if there is an issue that Apple is working on getting a fix for?
    My son in law has the exact same phone as me, we both got the on 10/6, he had a Dodge Dart and his is working via bluetooth.
    Someone HELP please, as i consider this a safety issue by not having my calls go to bluetooth.

    We had the same problem, but figure out the solution.
    You MUST have at least 1 song added to your ITUNE!  After you add a free song, then everything else should work as normal!
    Hope this helps!

  • After update to IOS 4.3.5 my Iphone incoming and out going calls is not working properly and I have to remove the SIM regulerly to conduct or receive a call

    after update to IOS 4.3.5 my Iphone incoming and out going calls is not working properly and I have to remove the SIM regulerly to conduct or receive a call
    It is not practicale to do this always any one faces the same problem

    There may be a problem with the SIM card. Get a new SIM card from your carrier - there should be no charge for a replacement.
    If no change with a new SIM card, the standard troubleshooting steps in order are:
    Power your iPhone off and on.
    An iPhone reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
    Restore your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup.
    Restore your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
    If no change after any of these steps in order, your iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • Merge calls is not working in my iphone

    merge calls is not working in my i phone i checked it for 5 times not working help me i am new for this

    Hello naveen_199155,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to merge calls together on your iPhone, but it is not working as expected. There are a couple of different resources I would suggest reading over in this situation. 
    First, depending on whether you have a GSM network iPhone or a CDMA network iPhone, the Conference calls feature may work differently. Please review the first attached article for this information. 
    iPhone: Understanding phone features - Apple Support
    Conference calls
    Supports up to five calls simultaneously
    Supports up to two calls simultaneously.
    CDMA networks may not be able to add, swap, or merge calls in certain situations. See the iPhone user guide for more details.
    Another valuable resource, just to ensure the correct steps are being taken to set up a conference call, is the iOS 8 User Guide (page 51). Please read over this for more information on the process as well as why the feature may not be working if you are using a CDMA iPhone.

    Have a great day,

  • Where can i exchange my not working iphone bought in Switzerland (on july 12, 2012.) that just turned off and not working since. In croatian store they don't want to give me replacement phone!!!!

    I have bought iphone 4s on July 12, 2012.in Zurich in offical Apple store (Glattzentrum) and after one and a half months it just turned off and not working since. I tried three charges and nothing (it detects that charger is on but it cannot be charged). So now I have a not working phone only two and something months after purchase. But the problem is that in Croatia we have two apple reseller stores and neither don't want to exchange it, although is under warranty!!!! The closest stores are 250 km from Zagreb...Of course I have contacted Apple store in Zurich but they told me to come in Switzerland or to send credit card data for receiving new iphone, the problem is I don't have credit card with 700 euro on it!!!! what to do?? who to call ??? where to get replacment device cause this is disaster???? I wanted to buy ipad but after all this I doubt to do so...I have not working Iphone payed around 700 chf or 800 usd and cannot change it in my country, is it possible for such vast organization like apple that this things can occur????? So much for customer support

    “the EU is considered one country for warranty purposes“
    Not the case at all whilst there are harmonized minimum standards governing guarantees, warrantees remain national as these vary (Add to) minimum legal protection.
    Some how you need to get your phone back to Switzerland.

  • MacPro 2013 Yosemite Cellular Call Handoff Not Working

    I've got a new MacPro 2013 Quad and have recently installed Yosemite 10.10. I've got a Logitech C615 USB Webcam which worked just fine for FaceTime in 10.9 and was expecting to be able to use it for cellular call handoff in Yosemite. For some reason, handoff of phone calls is not working. My Mac will "Ring" but as soon as I accept, the call fails. Moreover, on my iPhone 6 Plus it says "call cancelled" when I view recent calls. When I originate a call from my MacPro, the phone will ring once and then show "call failed" with the same error on my phone. Thinking perhaps it was the USB webcam (which now seems glitchy in Yosemite), I disconnected it and attempted to use my Focusrite 8i6 for a phone call, but was met with the same error messages.  Accepting and originating calls from my MacBook Air using the same setup works fine.
    Does anyone have any ideas what's going on? Anyone have any luck making or receiving cellular calls on the MacPro 2013 and, if so, what is your setup?
    Thanks for any advice you can offer.

  • CALLER ID not working for International incoming calls

    Hi,

    Regards

    You didn't mention what country your Online Number is in.  Not all of Skype's Online Numbers are eligible for use as Caller ID when calling telephones or sending SMS messages.  If your number is from one of these countries (Chile, Denmark, Estonia, Hong Kong, Poland, Sweden, the UK and the US), then it can be used this way.  Otherwise, you can use a mobile number from countries other than Japan or Mexico as Caller ID with Skype, after the number goes through a verification process where Skype sends SMS messages with codes to that number.
    To get to these settings, log into your Skype account here on the Skype web site using the "Account" link at the top of this page.  You'll see a screen that would include your current Caller ID settings, and a link to change that.  If your Online Number is from one of those countries I referenced above, just select it and you're done. 
    Hope that helps!

  • Skype click to call is not working in Safari 6 wit...

    My Skype click-to call is not working on Safari 6 with OS X 10.7.4.  The number highlights, but when I click on the number, nothing happens. I do have Skype installed on the computer and it works fine. I am running Skype for the mac 5.8.0.1027 and skype extension for safari 2.1.0.10405. I have two other macs which are running OS X 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.7 and the click to call (2.1.0.10405) works great on both of those. I can not get it to work on the mac running Lion. Any help? Thanks

    I reverted back to Safari 5.1.7 from Safari 6 and now Click To Call works.
    For anyone wondering how I did this, you can view instructions here:
    http://apple.stackexchange.com/posts/59342/revisions
    I am new to using Macs and was able to follow these simple instructions. Takes a while for Pacifist to install 5.1.7, but it's worth it to have Click To Call working now.
    You will not be able to do this if you have Mountain Lion as Mountain Lion requires Safari 6.
    Lastly, the next time you update your Mac and it asks if you want to upgrade to Safari 6, say NO. At least not until you see that a fix has been posted here in these forums by either Skype or Apple.
    P.S. I posted this reply using OSX 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1.7

  • Caller display not worked since June 2014

    On 26/06/14 I reported a fault (VOL-**********) that the caller display function had stopped working following a thunderstorm in the area. According to the fault status this fault is showing as being corrected and closed on 02/07/14 when in fact the fault still exists. I tested the line using the BT test socket with a new BT2000 phone and this displayed ‘incoming call’ therefore my internal wiring is not part of the problem. I have also dialled the test code *#234# to check if the caller display service is available and confirmed that it is. I then tested the new BT2000 phone on the neighbour’s telephone line and this showed the caller ID for incoming calls, as did my other telephone as well; therefore none of the telephone handsets are at fault. Three times BT have informed me that the fault has been fixed and yet I still have no caller display. Reading through the forums it would appear that other people have encountered similar issues and that the problem is at the exchange, “An Openreach engineer discovered that the RS232 burst transferring the CLI number up the line was too weak and he then went down to the exchange to investigate. He then discovered that the fault lay in the ADSL device which lies between the analogue exchange equipment and the outgoing line”. 
    I’m surprised to see that BT are taking so long to trace a fault in their system last raised 5/8/2014 (VOL012-**********) and that they haven’t sent an engineer to the property or to the exchange to check the problem.
    My patience is wearing thin over this problem with my Caller Display not working as it started in mid June. I’m also becoming less enthusiastic about BT and find it harder to recommend them to others.
    My last message from BT, tells me that it should be back to normal on the 8 August. However, it is still not working. Their message that my phone should be back to normal now and if it isn’t report this to BT, is ridiculous. If an engineer had investigated what was causing the fault and found it, then he would have fixed it. However, either an engineer has not investigated the fault or BT is not competent in fixing their own service faults and makes these statements with crossed fingers?

    An engineer called yesterday and told me that he had been asked to test the line for a voice fault not a Caller Display fault. However, his testing revealed there is no line fault, CLI signal is strong and he was happy that the new BT2000 phone (bought after the lightning strike) is working properly. (This phone had also been tested on a neighbour’s phone line where it displayed the callers number). He also found that this same BT2000 phone on my line was not displaying the Caller’s number (CLI), but couldn’t offer any reason why.
    I conjectured with him that these tests must bring the problem down to a corrupted CLI signal which does not allow the phone to understand the phone number being sent.
    When the lightning struck the phone line back in June, it blew the telephone connection in the back of the Sky Box with a flash and bang (telephone cable now removed from the Sky box). It shorted the Openreach Faceplate (now replaced) so that the phones and broadband stopped working and it caused the phone to light up and react as it does when a call comes through.
    Now isn’t it possible that the lightning also travelled along the copper wire to the green cabinet just outside the house and damaged something there which is corrupting the CLI signal, but which does not not show up when the voice line is tested? If not, then there must be a problem further back in the infrastructure, possibly in the Exchange, that is causing a corrupted signal to be sent to my phone?
    He told me that another team would have to investigate the Caller Display fault as he was instructed to look into a voice issue and as a field engineer he was not able to investigate any problem that might be in the Exchange. I don’t know whether this Exchange Team would be able to investigate a problem in the Cabinet if nothing is found in the Exchange or can that only be done by a field engineer? He told me to contact BT again as he’d done all that he had been instructed to do and they would have to instigate a fault team to further investigate the problem.
    When all this is considered we have the basic problem that BT are unable to provide me with a Privacy and Caller Display Service that I have been paying for, because of a fault in their infrastructure. How much longer is it going to take before they correct the problem that’s been going on since June 2014?
