Calls that arrive with a name.
Your business name shows up when you call any mobile. The person sees who is ringing before they decide whether to answer.
A number gets ignored. A name gets answered.
The call, the caller and the moment are identical. The only thing that changes is what the screen says. Think of the last unknown number that rang you, then picture the same call with a name on it.
Without a name
?Unknown number
Missed
A string of digits gives the person no reason to stop what they are doing. They do not know who is calling or whether it matters, so the phone keeps ringing.
With a branded name
ECExample Co
Answered
A business name is a reason to pick up. The person knows who is calling before the first word, and can decide in a glance that it is worth taking.
Illustrative example, fictional brand.
People answer who they recognise.
A name answers the first question
When a phone rings, the first thing anyone wants to know is who it is. A number cannot say. A name does, in the one place the person is already looking.
Familiar beats anonymous
People already know the businesses they deal with. Seeing that name on screen turns a call from a stranger into a call from someone they recognise.
Any mobile, one name
The name is built for the moment your customer calls any mobile. Every call from their numbers carries the same name, so they look consistent on every handset.
A clear name stands apart
An unfamiliar number looks like every other call a person has ignored. A plain business name says what the caller is, which sets it apart from the crowd of anonymous rings.

The name rings through
When your customer calls a mobile, the person on the other end sees the business name on screen, not a bare number.
Nothing changes in how your customer dials. The name is linked to their numbers, so every call they place carries it.
The name, beside the logo and reason.
Branded Calling puts three things on screen before anyone answers. The name is the one that does the identifying.
Name
The business name shown as the caller. This page is about this part.
Logo
A logo that lights up the call screen next to the name, so customers know it is you.
Call reason
A short line saying why the call is happening, such as an appointment reminder.
Keeping the name right
Chosen by your customer
The name is the business name your customer wants people to see. CNAM caller name is listed beside it in the same Trusted ID group, as the way to choose that name for your calls.
Fresh everywhere
Caller name updates keep the name current on landlines and every network, so a change your customer makes does not leave an old name behind.
One name per campaign
Where a customer runs several calling campaigns, per-campaign branding lets each one carry its own name and reason.
