Changing caller ID—how much control do we really have?

ViestiKirjoittanut Dr.Bennett » 10.7.2025 11:16

I recently started working remotely and need to make a lot of business calls. I'd like to change the caller ID so clients don’t see my real number—either to a company number or something generic. Is this possible from both a phone and a computer?

There are tools out there, but a lot depends on your carrier and device settings.

It is definitely doable, though the method varies depending on your device and whether you’re using a VoIP service. I was trying to mask my number for freelance gigs and used this article as a reference — https://esimplus.me/blog/how-to-change- ... any-device. It covers iOS, Android, and even some landline options. I ended up using a third-party app that allowed custom IDs, which worked great for temporary calls. The article also explains what works in different regions, which is useful if you're calling internationally. Just make sure to test it first before any important calls—some numbers still show as “Unknown” despite changes.
