Voip Company That Keeps Caller ID Name In Tact

Like others, I now see that GV only shows the CallerID number but not the name.

From what I have seen, there is no way around this. Correct?

If so, does anyone know of a Voip company that I can use with my Obi device and that keeps the Caller ID name in tact?

(To be clear, I am talking out the INBOUND Caller ID Name. The Caller ID phone number shows, just not the name.)

lhm.

Any other, or is that the only one?

Most companies offering "unlimited" plans have CNAM: VOIPo, Phonepower, Vonage, etc.

Several high-end PAYG providers include it: Callcentric, Anveo.

Some PAYG providers have it as an option, with a per-call cost: VoIP.ms, Vitelity.

If you have your own IP PBX, it likely has a feature to look up a name, using a free or paid data source.

With many providers, a call from a number in your contact list will cause the corresponding name to be sent.
