Why do some callers show up as unknown on my iPhone?
I get phone calls from time to time that show up as unknown. I don't answer them, and if caller leaves a message, the phone number shows up. Why does it show up then but not when the call is coming in?
I have actually programmed some of the numbers into my phone, but they still show up as "unknown" until they leave a message. The message shows that it was left by that contact.
It's like the numbers are blocked, but they aren't really blocked. If it said unknown even after a message was left, that would make more sense. Any explanations?
Caller ID
If the caller WITHHOLDS their number or set it to network default which can mean HIDE all numbers
the number is not displayed
Even if you have their number coded in the phone their "wishes" are NOT over written by you
So is they want to PRE ANNOUNCE they use send" my caller ID
Many people who make call do NOT want their numbers known, eg ACTORS so you need to tell the people who do call you to change the settings if they want YOU to answer.
And I thought the Matrix was just a FILM
They have blocked their caller ID from being displayed when they are calling. Doesn't matter if you put their number into your contacts.
I have had the same problem before. There phone numbers which were actually saved on my phone book but when they called, I get unknown numbers showing on my screen. I didn't know I had that problem so I assumed the unknown numbers were telemarketers so I reported them to http://www.callercenter.com. I received an advice to contact my service provider about it so they can look into my account and check on the issue, and when I did, I found out there was a problem with their system. So they corrected it within their database. That's when I realized that the numbers which came up as unknown primarily were really my friends' phone numbers. Tsk tsk tsk.
In your case, I suggest you contact your telephone service provider right away.
It can bee when there number is non published
Doesn't matter what you do to block those numbers. They always find a way to harass u. Turn ringer off on yur phone. Its your only recourse.
- Why is it when people call my iPhone they show up UNKNOWN? I got my iphone a couple weeks ago. At first I thought it may just be something that would go away within time. But it hasn't. I have a iPhone 4 and whenever someone calls my phone they show up as unknown or blocked. I tried tiring it off for half an hour then tiring it on, then I tried to take out my SIM card and wait half an hour to turn it on again. Please, if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
- Why doesn't some songs show up on my Iphone? I downloaded some songs from a website and I did everything to put it on iTunes. Now the thing is that it shows up on iTunes but it doesn't show up on my phone even when I try to sync it.
- Why does my iphone 5 show 'unknown' when receiving a call? Even though the people calling me are in my contacts. Its not because of the caller id, i'm certain.
- Why do some people try to show off their expensive gadgets? Like they always keep their iPhone on their hand or wear sunglasses and try to act cool and what not. In reality, they're just losers with no life. So why do people do this? Are they just really insecure?
