Hello @Wilson1995,


I’d be happy to help with updating your Caller ID! You can make this change directly from myAT&T! To do so:


Log in and go to myAT&T, and then Profile.
Select the wireless account if your ID can manage multiple accounts.
Select the User Information tab.
Choose the device for which you want to assign or change the associated name. (You'll need to repeat these steps to update each name you'd like to assign or change.)
Select the Edit link in the Primary User section.
Assign or change the name associated with the device, using up to 15 characters
Select Save Changes.
 

Please keep in mind, it may take up to 72 hours (excluding weekends) to process any Caller ID updates to an account. When you make calls to another wireless phone, the person you're calling will only see your phone number unless your name is already listed in the person's contact list.


Thank you for your time, and have a great day!
