Business Caller ID

Hi, I am having issues getting 2 of my cell phones outgoing caller IDs changed to my business name. I tried myself in my account, have been calling for weeks - speaking with multiple people, supposed techs & supervisors, given ticket numbers. One phone's caller ID has changed back & forth every other day, the other has not changed at all. After 10+ hours on the phone and speaking with 8-10 different departments & employees, all I want is my caller ID fixed. At this point, I am ready to cancel my service. The customer service at AT&T is absolutely terrible!!!

Hi Sarah216, we want to help you change your display name for Caller ID!

 

If you have already followed these steps to update your caller ID: 

  1. Going to your myAT&T Profile and selecting People & permissions.
  2. Selecting Show details for the number you want to update on Caller ID.
  3. Choosing Edit for Caller ID.
  4. Entering the info and select Save.

Then, please keep in mind that: 

  • You may have to sign out and sign back in to see the new name displayed online.
  • The Caller ID name displays on phones that have Caller ID. It doesn’t override a name saved in a wireless device.
  • It can take up to 72 business hours for caller IDs to show an updated Caller ID name.
  • People may need to clear your number from their Caller ID record for your new name to appear.
  • Some home phone service providers may not offer Caller ID or get regular updates to their Caller ID info.
  • For AT&T PREPAID, the Caller ID name says Wireless Caller.

If this does not help, let us know if you have a wireless account or a business account and what plan you are currently on since caller ID is an advanced feature which is included in our AT&T ActiveArmor advanced mobile security for our AT&T Unlimited Premium plan and Extra Plan; our current plans. 

 

Let us know if you need additional help! Thank you for posting on the AT&T Community Forums!

This is a business plan. As stated above I have done this & nothing changes. I was on the phone for 2+ hours yesterday with your "tech" support and they apparently fixed it. I was told it would show in a few hours. 24 hours later, it reverted back like it has been for the past 2 weeks!

Why can't anyone in your company fix this very simple issue??
