Set up Caller ID name (CNAM) for a phone number in DialLink

Updated this week

After your US carrier registration is approved, you still need to set the Caller ID name (CNAM) for each phone number in DialLink. CNAM is not applied automatically. This article explains where to find the Caller ID name setting and how to configure it.

Before you start

Make sure that:

  • Your US carrier registration status is Approved.

  • You are configuring a US phone number.

  • You have Admin or Owner permissions.

How to set the Caller ID name

  1. Go to Settings > Phone numbers.

  2. Select the US phone number you want to configure.

  3. In the General section, specify the Caller ID name field.

After setting the Caller ID name

Once set up, your outbound US calls become eligible to display your business name when supported by the receiving carrier. Test a Caller ID name display by placing a test outbound call from the configured number.

Note. Caller name updates may take time to propagate across carrier networks.
