Wrong caller ID display with my phone number

[linhvuuk]

Hello:

I called my friend today and realized that my caller id is a company name, could you please remove that?

Regards,

 @linhvuuk : Public Mobile does not transmit the name of the caller. Just the number. Your recipient might have your number related to that business as a contact. Or they're using a database that still thinks that number belongs to that business.

@linhvuuk PM does not sent name info on caller id.

the issue is either your friend's has your number setup as a contact and entered the wrong name (the company name) or your friend has used some kind of name resolve services but this is out of PM control.

You can try to call other friends or your home and you should see only your number is displayed

@Anonymous   pretty sure PM won't be able to help so I guess the ticket is not needed.  PM only send number info as Caller id

 @linhvuuk : You don't need to waste the time of the CSA's. It's not this end.

@linhvuuk 

maybe try this

Call Display and Call Blocking (publicmobile.ca)

[z10user4]

 @linhvuuk : Those call display and call block options are for your incoming calls. Not relevant.

maybe the number have he/she has not probably right in account, and they CSA have to check it you know.

*There are three main circumstances that cause a caller ID to be displayed incorrectly: The originating carrier may have incorrectly formatted or not transmitted the original "From" number. This usually results in a missing caller ID, or a "translated" number code.

the name display wrong issue is on your friend's end.

A quick way to resolve it is to ask your friend to check if he has created the contact with wrong name.  If he does not have a contact created for your number yet, create one and they would override whatever name lookup app/service he is using

if you want everything perfect, ask him what name lookup app he is using and open a ticket with that app owner to try to change it on his or her database.
