Caller ID

Caller ID, the calling name (CNAM) and phone number (CLID) sent with outbound calls, is a setting on each phone number. You can choose to send out the main company number, a number assigned to the line, or no caller ID at all. If the name on your caller ID is incorrect, please contact Customer Support to update it.

Caller ID for Mobile Phones

Most mobile phone carriers do not send the CNAM because mobile phones look up the calling phone number in the device’s contact list. Also, calls to 911 will always send the 911 callback number set on the device, regardless of your caller ID settings.

Caller ID Settings

Use the following star codes or log in to the portal to manage your caller ID settings.

Star Codes Disclaimer

Star codes are customized for each account. Cymbus’s default star codes are listed below, but yours may be different. Please check your user guide for the correct codes for your service.
