How can my CID be changed?

@DeepVoice - CID would be helpful to know the meaning you meant behind it.

I will take a quess, did you mean "Caller ID Announce"? If so, this appears to be phone model specific and settings on your device. What model of phone do you have?

"My caller ID announce (voice announce CID) isn’t easy to understand at times. Solution(s):

Caller ID announce / voice announce CID is a feature on selected models. It will announce the caller’s name and/or phone number, if provided by caller ID. If you are unsure if your model has this feature, check your user’s manual.

If you are not close to the phone when a call comes in, you may not hear or understand the announced name or number. Depending on the complexity of the caller’s name, it may not be pronounced correctly. This is normal and is not a malfunction of your phone. Using the cordless handset, you can turn caller ID announce OFF. You can keep caller ID announce turned ON for either the handset or base, or turn it OFF for both. Consult your user’s manual for details."

If you mean caller id, when you call someone that subscribes to a caller id service then the database of that service decides what information to give that subscriber. It could be outdated.

As mentioned, Public only sends your number if you are not hiding it.

I figured that was the case but want the OP to explain. 😉

Talk to your lawyer and local law enforcement.

In the context of this being a cell phone carrier support forum, I don't believe that the OP is asking about an investigation. @DeepVoice , can expland on what CID statnds for?

Public Mobile does not provide any information about you other than phone number for outgoing call display. There's nothing to change.
