Use caller ID
About caller ID
When you receive a call, caller ID shows the number on the incoming call or lock screens, unless the caller
has hidden their information.
When you make a call, those you call will see your number if they use caller ID.
Depending on your services, caller ID may also:
•
Show your name when you make a call
•
Show incoming callers’ personal or business names
•
Read aloud the caller’s name/number
•
Identify potential spam - Google's Caller ID & spam lets you easily block them
Change your caller ID info
To change the information that people see about you when you call, contact your carrier.
