Caller ID & Privacy

Setting your Outbound Caller ID allows you to decide your privacy when making a call. When you set up one of the options for the Caller ID, you are choosing if your number shall be displayed, or remain anonymous.

To set one of the outbound callers, select one of the available options: 

  1. Select Switchboard.

  2. Select number.

  3. Select Outbound > Caller ID & Privacy. 


  • A number on my account: Choose a different number within your account to display as your caller ID when making outgoing calls.

  • My number: Let your phone number be shown as the caller ID for outgoing calls.

  • Block my number: Prevent your caller ID from being displayed on outgoing calls, making them anonymous.

Enable an Announcement that can be played back to you when you dial out using the shortcode keys *65 or *67. This is useful if you often switch between presenting your number and having your number remain anonymous (Optional). 

Click Save to update settings.
