Hello Mike, This is great news and thank you for letting us know.
I sent a very detailed bug report to Apple on this one but I am delighted to learn that you have engaged an engineer for live feedback. For years I have been petitioning Apple to allow users to toggle the Caller ID display option for each Contact. For the record, such an option existed back in the Windows Mobile days. It was one of the first things I missed when I first switched to iPhone. Mark From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Mike B.

He finally took the time to fully understand the problem instead just shlepping me off and blaming my carrier like a couple of other Apple agents did and blaming Apple like Verizon did. Well, after escalating the problem it was determined it's indeed an iOS problem and is supposed to be resolved as soon as they can figure what the hell it is! LOL Now, how's that for some positive feedback?! LOL Stay safe and take care. Mike.

I have researched this bug, on the web, and a great deal of people are reporting the problem. I, as yet, have not discovered a solution. If the following makes no sense to you, then just ignore it. In iOS15.4.1, Siri will not Dial Telephone Numbers that Begin with a Symbol On some Wireless networks, one can selectively display one's CallerID by inserting a prefix symbol sequence in front of a telephone number. Please note that the prefix symbol sequence continues to function as expected when one manually selects the phone number from the Contacts list or from the Favorites page in the Phone app. The bug does not appear until one attempts to use Siri to dial a contact, hands-free. Steps to Reproduce the Bug: 1. Create a Contact with a local telephone number that includes the prefix symbol sequence of *31#. For example "*31#2125551212" (without the quotation symbols.) This will allow the contact (John Doe) to see your telephone number even when the show caller ID setting is disabled, in the Phone app. 2. >From the Settings area, select the Phone app. 3. Set [SHOW MY CALLER ID] to OFF. 4. Say to Siri, "Call John Doe." Siri will respond with "Calling John Doe" and the phone app will appear. After a few seconds, however, the phone app disappears and no call is placed. Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "VIPhone, The Next Generation" group.
