How do I make my first and last name not appear??

Post by mikeockisitchy »

Hello,

I'm just wondering how I go about not making my first and last name NOT to appear (on receivers call display) when I am calling someone?

Thanks

Go into the ATA device and change your display name from example "John Smith" to "Unknown" without the quotations. :D

You would need to get the ip address (dial ***02 from your phone)
Put that into your web browser (password requested should be admin)
then make the change
press update at the very bottom
when update is complete, press reboot

You can also put *67 in front of the number you are dialing. This will block the caller id.
