Why does the name “UCAR” not always show up (along with my phone number) in the CallerID information displayed to people I call?
Whether or not the name “UCAR” or the “303-497-xxxx” number appears in CallerID depends on the carrier terminating the call. Most carriers will pass along the number and some will pass along the name as well. There are no consistent rules or guidelines for this, so it always depends on the policies of the carrier terminating the call. Ideally, people you call will see UCAR 303-497-xxxx for the name and number (i.e., your telephone number) CallerID information. However, some may see 303-497-xxxx “No Name Available” or “Out of Area” or some similar message, or possibly, no CallerID information at all. UCAR telephony personnel have ensured this information is available from our primary outgoing carriers, but we cannot control what other carriers who may terminate our calls choose to implement.
