Here are the steps that you have to perform and I am sure that it will work out for you.
1) Go to the home screen, press the send key.
2) Now in the menu key go to the options. Now go to the general options and you will have to perform this operation.
3) change the Restrict My Identity field to Always.
4) Now press the menu key to go back and save it. That’s it.

I did try that setting and all I am getting when I am calling the different person is identity restriction not subscribed. Now I don’t understand why is this coming up, what could have been the issue over here. can you all please tell me. A small help from your side would be of great help for me.

It seems you should have a chat with the carrier people or the service provider and ask them to activate the identity restriction. So that’s when it will all begin. May be service providers are not allowing you because it is not being subscribed. So do ask them to activate it for you. That’s what you should do. I hope you did understand what I am saying here.
