Caller ID and CNAM

How can I test what caller ID is being sent out from my Callcentric phone?
There are a few ways to do this:
  1. If you have another Callcentric number, call it and you will see the caller ID being sent. You can also call the Callcentric Test Number (17771234567) and 'press 4' on your keypad for Caller ID readout.

  2. Call an external number (landline, mobile, etc.). Please note that while this should always work within the USA and Canada, calls to international numbers may or may not show accurate caller ID depending on the carrier the call uses to get to its final destination. Please note calling charges will apply.
