When I call the USA from Canada my number on their phones appears as from Russia

[wildnomad]

I'm not sure if anyone else has this problem.  I was wondering my USA friends don't answer my calls.  Turns out that my number on their phones appears as RUSSIA (not a number like +1....) just says Russia.   How can I change this?  Does anyone have the same problem.  I know that in Canada when I call people they see my phone number come up.

Well thank heavens the USA now thinks Russia is great, they likely will answer your calls.

If you call anyone else and they don't see Russia...I think the problem is on the other end.

That a first !  I think the problem is with their phone. Nothing you can do on your end. Try blocking your caller ID by dialling *67, then area code and number. See if that works.
