dont seem to be able to turn caller Id off in settings. The switch goes off, but I called out and the recipient knew it was me.
Anyone else had this?

Can’t hide my number when calling out

I'm not certain but I believe the caller ID setting depends on your carrier. Even if you set it off on your phone, your carrier may not honor that which is why the call recipient knew it was you.
Works for me.
As chscag said, might be on carrier end. For example, I believe Verizon is supposed to be able to take *67 numbers, but also has it as a setting under one's account settings on their website.
Also, government agencies, 800 numbers, business numbers(?) are getting the "real" caller id information not what we consider caller id. And believe there are services that will route a call through said service to provide receiver with the "real" caller id.
The caller id switch is for native app only, so things like the Google Voice app will not use the iOS option.

It’s always worked on my carrier.
And when I turn it off and reboot my phone, my number is hidden. So I think it’s a bug
