What Does the Other Person See When You Call?
The number shown to the person you’re calling is often referred to as Caller ID, meaning the number that appears on their phone when your call comes in.
When you make a call using Talk360 (a VoIP service), the call passes through multiple telecom networks before reaching the receiver. Because of this, the number shown may vary.
The receiver may see:
Your registered phone number
“Anonymous” or “Private Number”
A generic or routing number provided by a telecom network
📌 This behavior is common with VoIP calls and does not mean your number is wrong, hacked, or changed.
Why the Number Can Look Different
Unlike traditional mobile calls, VoIP calls:
Travel across international routing networks
May pass through intermediary carriers
Are subject to local telecom rules at the destination
Each network involved can influence how (or if) the caller’s number is displayed.
Anonymous Calling (Hidden Caller ID)
If Anonymous Calling is enabled:
The receiver may see “Anonymous” or “Private Number”
In some countries, hidden caller IDs are replaced with a system or placeholder number
Platform differences
Android: Anonymous calling is supported
iOS: Anonymous calling is not supported due to operating system restrictions
📌 These limitations are set by the operating system and cannot be changed by Talk360.
Country & Telecom Restrictions
In some regions, such as India or parts of the Middle East, caller ID may be hidden or replaced due to local telecom regulations.
As a result:
Caller ID may be hidden or replaced
Some calls may be rejected if the ID is not accepted
📌 These rules are enforced by local telecom providers and are outside Talk360’s control.
Important to Know
Caller ID behavior depends on routing, device settings, and local telecom rules
Talk360 cannot force a specific caller ID to be shown
Hidden or anonymous numbers are more likely to be blocked by recipients
Key Takeaway
Seeing a different or anonymous number is normal for VoIP calls
It does not mean your account or number is incorrect
Caller ID behavior depends on networks and local regulations
Talk360 cannot override how other carriers display numbers
