Stratus - Update Outbound Caller ID Name and Number
Review how you can update a user's caller ID name and number using the Users page of the Stratus web portal.
The Caller ID Number is the number that is used to identify the caller of the phone call. Since this number shown is frequently used as a callback number by callers, it is important that each user's caller ID is displaying the correct phone number.
The Caller ID Name (sometimes referred to as CNAME or CNAM) is the name that is associated with a Caller ID Number. If customers are seeing an incorrect or unfamiliar name when your users place calls, then they may be more likely to ignore or block your business' calls.
