Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Sprint PCS / April 2007Changing Caller ID Name
I want to have the name that shows up on land line caller IDs changed. Is this possible? My mom is using my cell phone and paying the bill and I don't want my name showing up when she calls a land line. Is this possible for Sprint to do. I sent an e mail to CS and of course they said no they can't do it. The only thing they can do is to turn caller ID off totally which I don't want. I don't even care if the last name is still there just not my first name. Thanks for any advise anyone can give me to get the name changed. I did a search for this on goggle here but I didn't find any recent information. TIA, > I want to have the name that shows up on land line caller IDs changed. Is > this possible?

The only option (that I know of) is to use "Caller ID Spoofing." (Google "caller id spoofing.") Unfortunately, it's not a seamless process to use, and it'll probably be more costly than just getting your mother her own number.

TIA, Not only can they change the caller ID , they did it for me. When I got a phone for my daughter, my name originally came up because it was on my shared minutes account. I called them to change her phone to show her name and it took about 5 minutes. Call them, don't send an email. >>I want to have the name that shows up on land line caller IDs changed.

I believe they (used to, at least) call it "Swapping Authorized User". They did it for me, too, years ago. >>I want to have the name that shows up on land line caller IDs changed. Is >>this possible?

They did it for me, too, years ago. We still call it that too. It's part of P2K, one of the business systems we use. We say up to 72 hours just to save our butts in case we are wrong though... > I want to have the name that shows up on land line caller IDs changed. Is > this possible? No. But it's the account holder's name that comes up anyhow. When I was with Sprint in Ohio, my wife's phone came up with my name. Now out here, we use T-Mobile and the phones both come up with her name, because it's her name on the bills.

The Sprint rep was only too happy to have each individual user's name appear, rather than the business name. It took only a few minutes. >> I want to have the name that shows up on land line caller IDs changed. Is >> this possible?

It took only a few minutes. Same result here.... I am sorry to hear that you had such an experience with eCare. They most certainly can change the caller ID for you. The document that is used to instruct on how the process is done, states it should be done by Technical Support, but after doing it a time or two, it is not extremely difficult, although there are many steps [15 in total if I remember right]. The fastest way to accomplish this would probably be to call in directly, and when asked why you are calling, say "Technical Support" or "Wireless Web". This will get you through to Technical Support who are the most experienced with this sort of request. > I want to have the name that shows up on land line caller IDs changed. Is > this possible?

TIA, i was able to change the ID on my phones by calling customer support. i have 4 phones. i sucessfully got a hold of someone who understood what needed to be done, it took 4 tries but well worth it. good luck! |
