I can't find this option on the Note 5 in the usual place under phone -> more settings -> caller ID. Anyone knows where the option is?

That should be where it is. You go in settings and then call blocking, you have to insert the number you want to call block.
Sorry. I want to hide my caller ID. Not to block someone.

I don't know if you can actually mask your own number, to prevent it from being seen. I think maybe before in the past, where incoming call, it would read restricted or private. That I remember, but it's been a long time since I've gotten a phone call with restricted or private display.

I'm looking for a way to identify unknown callers. I know that there are standard apps for these, but none of them seem to fit what I'm looking for.
One of my buddies showed me a setup that he had on his g1 awhile ago. What would happen is an unknown call would come in. He'd click the hangup button. The call would route somewhere and then back to his phone with the number and sometimes the name if the number was in the contacts list.
To test the setup I blocked my number in network settings and then called him. It showed unknown, he hung up, a second later my name and number showed up. From my end I heard no change or handover just ringing.
How do I set this up?

This service has been around for a while.
Check out "TrapCall"
They use this as part of an alternate service because they also offer "SpoofCall" a caller ID spoof service.
It's a pay for service but works exactly as you explain, call comes in, you hit end, they process it and re-port it over to you with the caller info.
I find myself looking at my phone to see who is calling and deciding whether or not to answer. My problem is that I don't answer enough.
Is there an app or a work around to disable incoming caller ID, or be able to make an "allow" list for those numbers I do want to see.

Bump... Is there nothing out there that can make it happen?
Looking for a decent call block app with a specific feature. The feature I'm looking for is that it only blocks the call after specified number of missed calls. My mother in law is crazy and will call repeatedly until you answer the phone. I would like her calls to be blocked after 3 missed calls.

Avast Mobile Security does pretty well. Me and a friend use it, he was getting harassing SMS messages and Calls, put the harassing number in the block log and he hasn't had a problem since. Also it doubles as a Mobile AV, it's picked up every bad application I've installed (on accident ofc)

Interesting. When will the unblock this number? or we should manually remove it from blacklist?

Try this (you require root) -
Root Call Blocker - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta
Or a more advanced version which includes rules and full privacy mode -
Call Master - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist

There you are, a great solution for me is rcb.
I have one annoying problem with default Messaging app.
When i receive SMS that i have a missed call from somebody, i can not see name of Contact, just see a number.
Ofc, that phone numer is saved in my Contact.
So i need to call that number to see from whom i had a miss call.
Anyone know what can be issues?
As I know, on most phones it is the same. Try it

On every phone in Message app when you open a SMS you will see for example:
"You had a miss call from +381641234567 (Papa)"
or you need to click on that number and you will see that number is Papa.
I have P20 lite and it is exactly like that.
On Honor 20 is not like that - google message app.
If you download for example Textra - it will be just normal.
I'm wondering can that be fixed or i need to use third app for Message?
Hello ,
I would like to see the country/city of incoming calls.
I had this feature on my Honor 7 and it was very useful.
When I have an incoming call on my Oneplus 7 Pro, I don't have any location informations.
I activated the "Caller identification" feature in the settings but still no location informations.
I believe it's quite simple to display at least the country thanks to the country code... (And I don't know them by heart)
I really don't want to use Third-Party apps on the Play Store Knowing they are full of ads and not aesthetic.
Do you have any suggestions for my problem ?
Thanks a lot
I see the city of unknown callers on my phone. I even get "Scam alert" or "Suspicious caller" display when certain numbers call.
