i have been trying to find a way to block my number on other devices when I call. Under ios8 and younger it was under settings/phone/show caller ID. Can't seem to find that setting to switch on and off on ios9 beta. Any idea where it is? I need this for work as I don't want clients to see my number. Thanks
Got a tip for us?

I don't know the details of your situation at all, but you might want to look at alternative ways of hiding your phone number. I know when I had my own business, I used to use a Google Voice number for business calls. The problem with blocked numbers is that people don't like receiving calls from them and often won't answer. I never answer a blocked number, nor does my girlfriend, parents, or most other people I know. Usually it's scammers or spammers or something else unpleasant. It also prevents your clients from creating a contact entry for you.
I'm on Rogers in Canada and I have the option to block my caller ID. This is on 9.1 beta 1 though, but I'm pretty sure the option has always been there for me.
