What is Caller ID

caller id displays the caller's phone number (for all unblocked numbers) on your phone. it may also show the name of the person if it's already been stored in your phone's memory. caller id is included with all plans.

other enhanced caller id services display the name, picture, city or state for incoming and / or outgoing calls

What is caller ID blocking

caller id blocking blocks your number from being displayed through caller id either permanently or temporarily. it's a free service.

note: you can't block your number from appearing when calling certain numbers, such as 800 numbers and 911.
