every once in a while i get a call about people showing their caller id displaying a certain name on it. for example, they call a landline with their mob phone and it shows their personal name and they want to change that bec they don't want the other receiver knowing their name but i call tech and they always tell me we can't do anything. so question is: do we have anything to do with what displays in landlines' caller ids? does anyone know why that would even show their name anyway if we don't even broadcast anything but the mtn in the caller id? please advise.

dial *67 before the number and it'll show "restricted"...

I work for a dealer of at&t and we can change what is seen when a caller calls a home number. We can make it say "wireless name" in store or tech can change it to someone else name.

Question....the number in question, was it a number ported in to vzw? VZW number usually don't show a name in the caller id. I don't know if that feature can be removed.

i think this might have something to do with it bec i just had a call like that where the customer ported in mtn and it showed the prev owner's name so i'll have to keep an eye out for those coincidences to see if that's it. thanks!
