I have a cell phone with caller ID block enabled (meaning no one should be able to see my phone number). However, there have been people and companies who have been able to pinpoint my location when I am talking to them there have also been companies that have called me back when we got disconnected.... How are they able to see my number and location? Is there some sort of overriding technology that some places have enabled????

Can you clarify a bit more? What do you mean if you ID block enabled?Is this an app or setting? What phone? Or did you call up the carrier and tell them that you wanted it enabled.
The carrier really holds the cards in terms of how you are seen on the network and how it shows on a caller id.

I called the phone company and asked if they could always block my phone number from showing up in someones caller ID. I've called other numbers as a test and my number or name doesn't appear. However, there are other times when people have asked "are you in or at X" or I called companies for information hung up by accident and they've been able to call me back although I never gave my number. So as a result, Im confused how some people can see my number
Commercial business lines have the option to ignore caller id block. All toll-free numbers ignore caller id block. If the person has a line where they pay connection charges for each call, caller id block is ignored.
Caller ID block is a mere suggestion to the service provider of the person receiving the call.

^^ Precisely. The only numbers that wont block are 911, 800 or general toll free.
This is assuming the OP is calling back 800 numbers which he/she hasnt said.
A tip would be to get yourself a proxy number like Google Voice and originate your calls from there.

They can do *69 to call you back without seeing your number.
