    Sorry about that! This is a tough one cause it looks like it's a Apple SW issue with the formatting. Have you had a chance to reach out to Apple support?

I was having the same problem for months and just fixed it using what @jorfanakos wrote and it worked:

 

If you check under 'phone' in setting (iPhone users), the 'My Number' probably has a + in front of your phone number. I tried removing the + by re-entering my phone number and it would not accept the change.

 

So I looked further down where it say 'Show my caller ID" and clicked on it. What I did was turn it OFF, wait 2 seconds and then turn it ON again.

Then you return to the phone page and you should see the + is gone from you phone number when looking at the 'My Number'.

 

Et Voila! 😊

 

Hope this helps!

This definitely worked for me.

 

My issue was different, as my contacts when searching for a name in my text messenger app would add +52 Mexico Country Code to the front of all of them. Annoying to look at but didn't seem to effect anything.

But to reiterate, goto phone, the 3 dots, settings, supplementary services turn off caller ID wait a few seconds then turn on.

 

Thanks dlap!
