Calling

When I call my home phone from my cell phone, to show who is calling, a location shows up instead of my name. How do I change that?

Thanks

Location? Do you mean city, province, street address?

PM does NOT send name info to call display. Only number.
To see a name it has to be in address book of your phone.

This sounds like a dialer setting thing. Check the settings in the dialer app and adjust accordingly.

There isn't any way to change this from the Public Mobile side of things. Your home phone is showing geographical infromation based on the area area code of your phone number (because of the factor that Meow mentioned about Public Mobile not transmitting any name information).
