My Caller ID incorrectly shows Campbell River. I need it to show North Vancouver or just my number. How can I do it?

Public Mobile only send phone number and never send the name on caller id
the reason the receiving ends seeing the name is just they have some app to look up the name using the number sent by Public Mobile. There is nothing much you can do on PM side
Campbell River likely refers to the city rather than any business name assignment in a database.

On landline systems that state a city and province with the phone number, this is based on CNAC number assignments. What is the area code and the next 3 digits? This determines the city.
