Is there Caller ID

Nix1 — Mon, 04 Nov 2024 03:05:52 GMT

Is there a way to get Caller ID so when I call people it says my name? Whether it's a general feature or a different plan. Thank you.

Hello @Nix1

EDIT: I know myself, I've called places and my name sometimes shows up and sometimes doesn't. So it's a 50/50 I think.

The name isn't being sent by Public Mobile. Telus doesn't send any name informaiton to accompany an outgoing wireless call.

It's probably a third party service that quickly takes the number and searches a third party database and displays the name back.
