Changing the Caller ID Name

Bright Pattern Contact Center Number Provisioning application provides users with the option to request a change or edit for the Caller ID Name tied to specific phone numbers.

The CNAM is the calling party display name that will be transmitted and shown to the receiving party when the given access number is used as a Caller ID.

Note that support for this functionality varies depending on the country and carriers involved and that delivery is not guaranteed. When setting/changing display name, you should also check with your carriers for possible length and character set limitations. Likewise, while using Bright Pattern's Contact Center Number Provisioning application to add a CNAM to a number, the CNAM can be only 15 characters, including spaces. No special characters are allowed, only letters or digits with spaces.
