Name Display for Outgoing Calls

[xmvnn]

I have a friend that's with Public Mobile that has outgoing name display for when she calls people (comes up as her business name even if she isn't stored in their contacts list) and wanted to figure out how to set that for my phone. Thanks!

There isn't any universal way that is officially supported by Public Mobile.  The databases that have this business name in are ran by third party companies.  In addition, not all phones use software that checks these databases.

So you don't have her name in your contacts but you see her name when she calls you? Are you subscribed to a service that identifies numbers?

[xmvnn]

Yes but so do I. She told me things changed when she tried helping me change it myself. She's not in my personal or work phone's contact list and it still comes up for her

First PM only send phone number and not name, so, your friend needs to setup a record on your contacts  on your device for it to show her name when she calls you

also, some devices partner with name display lookup services , like Samsung partners with Hiya, some people download Caller ID lookkup app like TrueCaller, she might want to check with them to see how she can add her name onto their database (some might take business name only )

Recipients of hers (how many, one?)  is using a service that has her number in their database. I don't know if there's a way to get yours added to that database.

Does she have her account in a business name?
