Good to know

  • The Caller ID name displays on phones that have Caller ID. It doesn’t override a name saved in a wireless device.
  • It can take up to 72 business hours for caller IDs to show an updated Caller ID name.
  • People may need to clear your number from their Caller ID record for your new name to appear.
  • Some home phone service providers may not offer Caller ID or get regular updates to their Caller ID info.
