Hi, I am new user and I  still can’t show my caller ID to others after I turned on the mentioned setting in Phone.

How do I change my call display to say my name instead of "private caller"

I actually hide my caller id from virgin plus app and now I am unable to unhide my caller id even the agents cannot help me
