Caller ID - Android

Read on to learn about how MultiLine Caller ID works for incoming and outgoing calls. 

Overview

  • Caller ID behavior for incoming and outgoing calls differs based on whether you are using Minutes Mode or Data Mode
  • If you call within your organization, by default your name will appear unless you turn the Caller ID off
  • If you call outside your organization to someone who doesn't have you saved as a contact, your MultiLine phone number will display
  • You can turn your own Caller ID on or off in Call Settings

Before you start 

  • If your organization chooses to restrict the type of Call Settings you can use, you may not see certain options in your Call Settings. When disabled, settings are greyed out or absent from the app.

How to set your Caller ID as anonymous for outgoing calls 

You can choose whether people can see your MultiLine number or not using "Show your Caller ID" setting. If the toggle is on, users will see your MultiLine number or whatever they have stored for you in their Contacts app. If the toggle is off, you'll show up as a Private or Restricted number.

  1. Select Settings, then Call Settings.
  2. Set the toggle for "Show Caller ID" to off.
