Caller ID info

[NY Tel Guy]

Basically the underlying CLEC who owns the number is the only one who can correct it. Sometimes they will take instructions from their customer and some refuse to put a name in from anyone.

OK well then I did the right thing by reporting it to AT&T. Especially since half the world views me as Robert and the other half as Dwight.

It is not the end of the world, now I have to figure out how I can run a Ponzi scheme as Dwight......

Ok that was a joke - I never meant to expressly imply or infer that I would ever do aything fraudulent in life. Bad Karma....

Signed,

I noticed this same issue when attempting to use CallVantage's "Caller ID - Name Block" feature. My voipo and viatalk lines always showed my name after activating that feature, but BellSouth lines showed my number in both fields...

Filing the issue with AT&T was probably about the only real approach to the situation. I'm not sure how L3 or PAETEC/US LEC update their LIDB databases, but that's likely where the issue is.

Just think, they could have done you the favor of making it "Political Msg" like some I've been seeing lately!
