Caller ID
Caller ID lets your business contacts know that you are calling them and vice versa. Don’t want to be an unknown number? Then let people know who’s calling.
Caller ID Feature
Caller ID is a feature which transmits the number of the caller. This feature can help you with finding out who is calling you before you pick up the phone. With VoIPBusiness’ Caller ID feature you are able to identify the party that is calling you.
Then you have the opportunity to decide on whether you want to receive the call or don’t. This feature also gives you the choice to display your own number to others when you are making calls.
Generally, there are two kinds of caller ID that are Caller ID Number and Caller ID Name. Caller ID Number displays you the phone number of those who are calling you whereas Caller ID Name displays the name of the individual who is calling you.
CLID Scenario in PBX
You just need to own the number, to get it verified, put the number in there to either receive a pin code via SMS or a phone call via the Cloud PBX, once you receive it, just verify, and here you go, that number that you own has now been validated as a number to be identified when you call someone, meaning it is now your CLID or Caller ID.
