How can I toggle off Caller ID on my Android device?

My BT landline has an optional service which enables customers to request that all outgoing calls have Caller ID withheld. However EE tells me that they do not offer this option for mobile customers. I am told that iPhone have a setting  for customers to withhold outgoing Caller ID. However I have several Android phones which appear to lack that facility. Does anyone know of any Android phones (make & model) giving an option for the user to withhold Caller ID?

Hello @snoring 

If you have a Samsung follow these steps

Press the Call Icon

3 Dots on the Right Side

Then choose Supplementary Services

Under Show your Caller ID you can change it to either Network Default, Never or Always. 

This might differ from Android Versions.

Hi @snoring 

Every Android phone I have had has this option, so it'll be there, just often found in different places.

Try searching for Caller ID in settings, and you should see options to send or hide your number.

If not, tell us what phone you have and we'll try and work out where it is.

Hi @Palieyy 

You can follow the steps from @Profile closed to switch your Caller ID on and off in your Samsung device. 
After pressing the dots, click on settings to find Supplementary Services.
